This publication stems from a project to help teacher educators and other professionals study the Comprehensive Elementary Teacher Education Models (CETEMs) by providing information and promoting future-planning through participant examination of systematic planning techniques. The seven papers included are 1) "Teacher Education and Systems," by Robert B. Howsam; 2) "Designing Changes in Teacher Education Through Future-Planning: The Role of Systems Theory," by Harold G. Shane; 3) "A Scenario of Models, Systems Analysis, and LEARNING Systems," by Walter LeBaron and Judith Klatt; 4) "Systems Analysis in Teacher Education," by James Popham; 5) "Some Considerations upon Entering into New Arrangements for the Preparation of Teachers," by Donald R. Cruickshank; 6) "Variations on a Systems Theme: Comprehensive Reform in Teacher Education," by Bruce R. Joyce; and 7) "Synthesis and Summary," by Donald Haefele. Collectively, these papers reflect stages of thought and of action proposals which teacher educators can use in responding to demands for better programs, sharper professional skills, and deeper knowledge.
