The purposes of this U.S. Department of Education project were twofold: (1) to explore the process for obtaining materials, documents, and publications from abroad that were "fugitive" in nature (i.e., documents not typically found in the ERIC system or library collections); and (2) to develop a database of both the materials collected and the people contacted or identified as having expertise in teacher training.

Also included are many studies of student teacher experiences, training effectiveness, and specific activities such as practicum experiences and distance learning. (LL)
