The Teaching/Learning Center (T/LC) at the Jacksonville State University College of Education (Alabama) is Level 2 in a 5-level teacher education program that is intended to build student competency through reflection and revision of the student's teaching practices. T/LC is a practicum laboratory for preservice teachers and an on-campus, after-school tutoring program for a diverse population of children in grades K-12. It is often referred to as the "center for two learners," that is, for both preservice teachers and students. The T/LC practicum, established in 1992, allows the preservice teacher to interact with children by individualizing a one-on-one tutorial in the university setting and under university supervision. In the last 12 years, the program has proved itself a considerable contribution to the community and to the professional growth of the preservice teachers; follow-up surveys given to graduates reaffirm the program's value in the teacher training effort. Preservice teachers gain additional practice through communication with parents, guardians, teachers, and professors. They gain confidence and self-satisfaction while learning to interact with students from varying backgrounds in a caring and supportive manner. (NAV)
