This paper reviews and criticizes existing models of governance of teacher education and proposes alternative ones. Chapter I defines three models of governance including a) a bureaucratic model; b) a collaborative model; and c) a systems analysis model which is used to plan new models in the final chapters. Chapter II deals with the current perceptions of governance of teacher education. Responses to a 1972 Gallup Public Opinion poll are given as well as responses given by university professors to a governance opinionnaire. Chapter III emphasizes that each group desiring participation in the aspects of governing should be gauged in terms of the contributions' direct applicability to the program and that teachers should be prepared by a systematic program. This chapter also contains a discussion of seven components of a teacher education model and concludes with examples of governance models in teacher education programs. Chapter V stresses that implementation of governance models should be preceded by thorough planning and facilitated by adequate project management. The procedure for planning developed by Koontz & O'Donnell is listed and a planning model is examined which suggests that planning be divided into early and advanced phases. The project management section discusses criteria for identifying an undertaking as a project, general steps for planning and controlling a project, and guidelines for maintaining satisfactory project management.
