The purpose of this mixed methods descriptive study was to examine how to enhance our initial teacher education program and graduate programs. Two hundred and sixty-five principals participated in a survey that provided insight on the areas where novice and experienced teachers needed additional knowledge and support as well as providing their ideas on the big issues or trends in Texas schools over the next five to ten years. There were unique needs as well as common areas for growth for novice and experienced teachers. Unique needs for novice teachers were not unexpected. Those included areas such as classroom management, understanding the TEKS for their grade level, and the Professional Development and Appraisal System (PDAS). Unique needs for experienced teachers included using technology effectively in teaching as well as collaborative teaching and learning strategies. Common areas where professional growth were needed was in effectively using data in planning and teaching, working with special populations such as special education, economically disadvantaged children, and ELL/Bilingual students, and working with ELL/Bilingual parents. This study indicated that educator preparation programs must work to purposefully include targeted instruction and experiences in these areas. This study also provides evidence of the need for teachers to individualize their professional development opportunities.
