Teacher education programs around the globe are undergoing consolidation as the result of extensive, critical reviews. The concepts of faculty associates, school associates, module structure, research agenda and long practica, which were incorporated initially within the Professional Development Program (PDP) at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada) over 25 years ago, are offered as viable ways of addressing concerns, for greater school/university collaboration and more meaningful practica. Evidence is provided from a recent external review (British Columbia College of Teachers, 1991) regarding the impact of these program attributes on the PDP student teachers, as well as on the faculty members and faculty associates working with them.
