Abstract	Two questions of concern for future developers and participants in clustered student teaching projects are the foci of this report: (1) How do preservice teachers view the role of the elementary school principal in a "cluster" school? (2) How do classroom teachers react to the preservice teachers and special project components that greatly change patterns and professional atmosphere in a "cluster" school? The Purdue Student Teacher Opinionaire (PSTO) was administered to students involved in three different types of student teaching experiences to measure the student teacher's feelings about the principal's professional competency, interest in student teachers and their work, ability to communicate, and skill in human relations. The highest ratings of rapport with the principal were given by student teachers in conventional programs, followed by those in the Reading and Language Arts Teacher Education Program (RELATE), with the lowest scores given in the Professional Year Program, a cluster program. Five suggestions for principals to improve rapport with student teachers are given. The classroom teachers were generally positive in their evaluations of student teachers and rated the cluster student teachers high on overall preparation to teach in comparison with the preparation of noncluster student teachers they had seen or worked with previously.
