We do not expect anyone (except possibly the principal author) to implement it as it stands, but present it ratheras a source of ideas for thinking about and recreating teacher education. The sources of ideas were many, for the task force was national in scope. A large number of people prepared sourcepapers or gave extensive consultation which contributed to the shape of thepro- gram. Several of the papers are included in the body of chapters or as appendices to them. Drs. David E. Wirt and Edmund V. Cullivan of Lhe Ontario Institute.for Studies in Education contributed the theoretical framework for the differential training model (Chapter Seven) and the rationale for studying "The World of the Learner" (Chapter Fourteen) respectively. Their papers appear as appendices to those chapters. In addition, the Flexibility Training Program is based on work originated by Dr. Hunt. Dr. Carl Weinberg of U.C.L.A. contributed much of the rationale for the Innovator component (Chapter Twelve) and his sourcepaper aDpears as Appendix to that chapter. Dr. Louis Smith of the St. Louis Regional Laboratory contributed a stimulating source paper on the social system of the classroom (Chapter Ten-D and Appendix Ten-D). D. Greta Nbrine, formerly of Hofstra University, created much of the simulated school and its decision-making tasks. Her tasks are presented in Chapter Ten-A, much as she wrote them. Drs. Elizabeth Wilson and George Ubdansky, both of the Mont- gomery County, Maryland, public schools, developed position papers on the creation of the School as a Center of Inquiry (Chapter Eight) and their papers are included. Dr. Thelma Baldwin developed a position on evaluation, part of which is included in the report, and also provided invaluable general consultation. Dr. George Brown, of the University of California, Santa Barbara, prepared an imaginative paper on the development of creativity in teaching. His long-time colleagueship has greatly influenced the principal investigator. .2/3 Dr. Berj Harootunian of Syracuse Universityserved as consul- tant and contributed, inperson and through his writing, many ideas that appear throughout this document. Dr. Ole Sand of the National Education Associationhelped to formulate the framework for developing the inquiryschool and strongly encouraged the future-orientation of theprogram. Within TeacherstCollege there werea host of contributors. Professor Arthur W. Foshay shared the problemsof thinking through the entire program. Gerald Weinstein contributed the original idea for building a component focussedon the social system of the class- room. Drs. Clark Brown and Katherine O'Donnell developed the 1967- 1968 preservice teacher educationprogram into a laboratory that developed and tested many of the elements of theprogram. The demo- el:ttUe- pruceban.odel (t udeilt-facult,y go-verhed plObiam) wa6 the simulated school tested, anda candidate-operated summer school was presented to city children under the leadership of Dr. Brown and Miss O'Donnell. They showed how to develop a teacher education program as a "center of inquiry." Professor Jonas Saltis contributed a positionpaper on the teacher-scholar and valuable consultation to Dean Foshay. Professor Elliot Avedon developed "The Teaching
