This is a collection of essays on the current situations and projected trends of teacher education. After two introductory essays, "Realignments for Teacher Education" and "Historical Perspectives on the Future," the book is divided into three sections, each devoted to symposium papers on a particular topic. The first section is on the social context of teacher education, the second on the professional context (including discussions of staff differentiation, teachers for the ghetto, and negotiation and the education of teachers), and the third on the federal role in teacher education. Concluding the book are recommendations for the Association of Teacher Education. (JA)
