N2 - Using the idea of learner-centered experiences, we have been examining the learner-centered
model of teacher preparation (Raiber et al., in press) in which students gain teaching skills and
reflective practice through means of both peer and public school teaching using the plan / teach /
archive / reflect procedure for each structured teaching episode. The longitudinal study at Texas

model is an ongoing process of data collection and subsequent evaluation. Prior research has
indicated that students value these procedures highly, and almost uniformly believe that they

clarity of directions (Killian, Dye, & Buckner, 2008). More recently, student reactions to the
beginning of their experiences compared with reactions to their student teaching experiences
revealed that student teachers rated
