Résumé

The theory-practice blend is an issue which must be addressed by Faculties and Schools of Education in the conceptualization and implementation of their "initial" teacher preparation programs. In this paper I will elaborate on some of the problems encountered in attempting to obtain the "right blend" in the theory-practice issue followed by some suggestions of what might be done to improve the situation. I will end by sharing with you some "hunches" I hold regarding the issues which surround questions related to theory and practice. My comments and observations are based on experiences gleaned in the implementation of the Extended Practicum and Core Undergraduate Programs at the University of Calgary.
