Abstract	The impact of changes in the special education environment on the role of the resource teacher are discussed, such as trends toward placing students with special needs within regular classrooms, delivering programs to learners with a wider range of instructional needs, and collaborating in delivery of classroom instruction. Consequent shifts in demands upon teacher educators are then noted. The Department for the Education of Exceptional Children of the University of Saskatchewan's College of Education in Saskatoon, Canada, responded to these changes by: moving resource teacher preparation courses from the undergraduate to graduate level; developing generic theory courses around a core of "integrated practicum" classes; involving local public schools as practicum sites; and making use of peer coaching, reflective journal writing, and role playing and modeling. One component of the change process involved integrating computer technology into teacher preparation, through development of Project AIMS (Assessment, Instruction, and Management Support). The AIMS CoPlanner is an interactive computer program designed to help teachers gather relevant information about a student, reflect on that information, plan teaching strategies, monitor student progress, and report on student progress. Besides supporting instruction, AIMS CoPlanner was designed to enhance communication among staff who share responsibility for the education of a student, to make assessment and teaching tools available online, and to reduce administrative time involved.
