A major barrier to minority student participation in the Arizona State University teacher preparation program is the state-mandated requirement that all sections of the PreProfessional Skills Test (PPST) be passed before any teacher preparation courses can be taken. This paper describes the significant features of a minority recruitment/support program, which offers a proactive PPST support system. The program is moving toward becoming comprehensive and relies on vigorous proactive support. This paper describes the salient features of the program: (1) an intensive attempt to identify minority students who require the services of the PPST support system; (2) active recruiting of minority students education programs at community colleges, exceptional high school students; and (3) diagnostic testing of prospective students. Academic class offerings in reading, mathematics, and writing are described. Classes provide a large number of PSST-like problems and students are tested frequently to assist them in overcoming test anxiety. The outcomes and future modifications of the program are discussed.
