Abstract: This is a progress report on the Ford Training and Placement Program as it enters its fifth year of operation in training teachers for inner-city schools. It is stated that the major achievement of the program is the effective way it has served as a linking mechanism among the university, public school system, and local school communities, especially in training professional educators as teams and in placing them as cadres in the public schools. The document describes the program operations for 1971-72, the dynamics of information retrieval (field-based staff members were required to document their experiences with the program), the major cadres, dissemination and demonstration of information, research and evaluation, and conclusions.
