Abstract
The consultative functions of the learning disabilities resource teacher are emphasized in the professional literature. Yet, the delivery of these services is currently less than adequate to meet the mainstreaming needs of regular education personnel. Insufficient training has been targeted as an area contributing to this deficit. Consequently, the present model was designed to train educators for future roles in mainstreaming programs. The development of teaching strategies, communication and conferencing skills through microteaching and simulation are emphasized. Feedback is provided at several interaction points. The design for university training parallels the resource/consultant teacher program implemented in many schools.Keywords
