Examined is the relationship between three documents intended to guide the development and evaluation of programs for the education of science teachers, namely: the "Recommended Standards" prepared by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the booklet "Developing Guidelines in Teacher Education" prepared by the Association Organizations for Teacher Education, and the "Guidelines" of the Association for the Education of Teachers in Science (AETS). The preparation of each of these is described, and points at which each bears on the others identified. Recommendations are made for a re-examination of the AETS "Criteria for Evaluating the Professional Component of Science Teacher Education".
