Abstract The article focuses on the aspects of training for more effective accounting instruction. Every new staff person should have the opportunity of participating in a planned program of orientation to his work as an instructor. The American Accounting Association (AAA) sponsors a staff training project in about 4 or 5 institutions in the country, having a number of new accounting instructors each year. It would indicate to other professional and academic organizations that the AAA is interested in the quality and effectiveness of teaching staffs in the field of accounting. Some of the features of this experimental program are now being carried out at individual institutions. The mutual interchange of experiences and the subsequent publication of the results of the experiment would have a lasting impact on the entire accounting educational process. The success of this program would encourage more capable young people to become interested in potential careers in the teaching field.
