A report is given on the redesign of the teacher education program at Southeast Missouri State University, which will integrate both preservice and inservice teacher education into one continuous process. Changes in the program design include: (1) development of more rigorous requirements for admission; (2) identification and implementation of exit criteria as prerequisites for graduation and/or certification; (3) improving the quality of and expanding the requirements for field based experiences; and (4) developing linkages (partnerships) between schools and higher education. Six task forces have been initiated in the college, comprised of public school personnel and university faculty, and have responded to the charge to offer recommendations for program changes. The recommendations of the task forces covering the following program components are presented in outline form: (1) curricular renewal for elementary/special education preservice students; (2) curricular renewal for secondary preservice students; (3) expanded field experiences; (4) collaborative partnerships linking the university and local education agencies; (5) selecting, training, and rewarding cooperating teachers; and (6) inservice staff development and dissemination of task force activities. Descriptions are given of the initial charge to the task forces, the development of a Mission and Goals Statement, and the development and implementation of the Center for Assessment and Research in Education (CARE). Appendixes contain the full texts of the charge to the task forces and of the mission and goals statement, an outline of the goals and objectives of CARE, and the complete reports of all six task forces.
