Instruction in Pre-Service CBTE Programs

This investigation involved the evaluation and analysis of the degree to which competency-based teacher education (CBTE) preservice reading competencies were judged to reflect selected factors of teacher effectiveness. Twenty-two generic competencies developed by the state of Pennsylvania, twelve selected factors of teacher effectiveness determined by a national panel, and seven global reading coapetencies derived from reading programs in Pennsylvania, formed the base of the study. A aodified Delphi technique and criterion-referenced data analyses were used. Findings indicated moderate relationships existed among sost, but not all, factors and competencies. Organization, planning, and aanageaent of classrooa routine were of sajor consequence. Implications for CHTE prograas were discussed.
