The collaborative procedures used to derive the instructional objectives for Arizona State University's Teacher Corps training programs for inservice teachers, preservice teachers, and teacher aides were time consuming and costly, but have resulted in increased respect and better working relationships between teachers, parents, and teacher educators. The instructional objectives developed by teachers, parents, teacher interns, and program developmental staff included observable teacher performance and usually included the qualitative characteristics of an acceptable performance. Objectives were based on teacher skills in three areas: (1) instructional skills, (2) personal/interpersonal skills, and (3) setting related skills. Appended are: (1) a list of skills developed collaboratively, (2) the relationship of skills to objectives, and (3) teacher competencies review checklist. (STS)
