Preface
Information regarding laboratory schools - their location, theirorganization and administration, their faculty and students, their pur-poses and programs continues to be of interest to many persons en-gaged in teacher education. Obviously, data regarding these schoolsare of special interest to per sonsdireetly involved in the work of lab-oratory schools or in their sponsoring colleges and universities. Atthe same time, such information is also sought by persons in teachereducationwho are responsible for meeting the growing problems as -sociated with programs for student teaching and related laboratory tampperiences for prospective teachers. The problem of achieving an inte-gration of the theoretical and practical in teacher education remains adifficult one and the laboratory school as one means of providing forintegrating experiences is of continuing interest to many teacher edu.cators.
For these reasons the American Association of Colleges forTeacher Education is making available this directory of laboratoryschools currently in operation in the United States.
The data for this directory were collected by Evan Hugh Kelleyin the course of his doctoral study at Indiana University. The Comtnit-tee on Studies of the Association is pleased to have had a small part inencouraging and facilitating Mr. Kelley's survey of college-controlledlaboratory schools and expresses its appreciation to him for makingthe data available to the Association tor publication ond distribution.The cooperation of the many college and university officials who pro-vided the original data is gratefully acknowledged.

Brief Overview of the Findings
The following data refer only to the 212 institutions which have"college..controlled laboratory schools."
Nature of Controlling Institutions
AACTE Member Institution 201Non-Member Institution 11Public Institution 178Non-Public Institution 34
Of the public institutions, 141 (790/0 of 178), are, or originallywere, normal schools, teachers colleges, or normal, industrial andagricultural institutes. Thirtr.three (19% of 178) are state universitiesand/or land grant colleges.
Geographic Distribution of Laboratory Schools
New York (16); Pennsylvania (15): Wisconsin (11): Illinois (9);Alabama, Kentucky, Maryland and Minnesota (8 each): and Louisianaand Massachusetts (7 each) account for 97 (46%) of the nation's college-controlled laboratory schools. California, Connecticut, Michigan,Missouri, Nebraska. and Ohio (6 each) account for an additional 17 per-cent of the total.
Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, South Dakota and Vermont have nocollege-controlled laboratory schools.
Functions of Laboratory Schools
Respondents from 186 institutions provided information regard..ins the relative importance of the seven possible laboratory schoolfunctions listed on the survey questionnaire. For the total group thefunctions were ranked in the following order of importance:
First - Ob servationSecond . DemonstrationThird - Student TeachingFourth . ParticipationFifth - ExperimentationSixth . Re searchSeventh .. In.-Service Training
In spite of the attention which has been given to the importanceof research and experimentation as unique functions of laboratoryschools,* only twenty...seven (27) institutions listed either of these twofunctions as of first importance in their schools. On the other hand,sixty.two (62) institutions reported that studAnt teaching is the most bm .portant teacher education function of their laboratory school.

Emlanation of Symbols and Data
A college-controlled laboratory school as defined in this surveyis a school which is under the administrative control of a collegiatelevel institution andior receives the major share of its financial sup .port from such a parent institution. This directory lists 212 institutionswhose laboratory schools appear to meet these qualifications. In addl.tion it lists 13 institutions which reported the ecistence of laboratoryschools, but which, according to the information received, neither con-trol nor provide the major financial support for these schools. Theseschools are marked with an asterisk (*) in the list.
In order to provide some evidence of the changing situation withrespect to "laboratory schools," institutions which have reported thediscontinuance of all or parts of such schools are listed together withthe date of closing reported.
The following information is indicated for each school whereavailable:
A.
B.
The name and location of the parent college or university
Nature of control of parent institution: Public institutionsare unmarked; non-public institutions are marked (Pr)
C. The name of the school
D.
E.
I
The name of the chief administrator of the school or therespondent to the questionnaire
Functions of the school: Numbers listed under the schoolindicate the relative importance assigned to each of the fol-lowing functions by the respondent:
1. Observation2, Demonstration3. Student Teaching4. Research5. Participation6. Experimentation7. 1n-service training and preparation of teachers,
supervisory and administrative personnel, andspecial services personnel as a service to theprofession.
For example: At the Kilby School of Florence state Collegein Florence, Alabama, according to William A. Graham , .Director, the observation function ranks second (2), thedemonstration function ranks third (3), the student teachingfunction ranks first (1), the research function ranks seventh(7), etc.
