N. _J. og , i % 9 vi Preface The Fiftieth Anniversary Committee of the Association for Student Teaching (AST) convened for its first meeting in February 1967. At that meeting a few important decisions were made and commitment to them remained constant throughout tie three years of planning for the Anniversary Conference: (a) Although the history of the past fifty years would be attended to, it would serve only as a basis for a strong focus on the NOW and the FUTURE. (b) Significant factors in the social, political, and professional contexts of teacher education would be selected for emphasis. (c) Experts from outside as well as inside the Association's membership, especially from the social and behavioral sciences, would be invited to contribute. (d) Substantive papers would be prepared in advance and reported in a publication following the Conference. (e) Effort would be made to get conferees to focus on action recommendations for the Association. (f) Each participant would be asked to stay with the same group for intensive discussion of implications of the papers for their work in teacher education. (g) The Anniversary banquet would be made a celebration appro- priate to fifty years of dedicated work in the Association. Topics were identified as potentially worthy of consideration in program planning. Both the process and the substance of the Fiftieth Anniversary Confer- ence, as reported in this publication, remained true to the original commitments of the Cmmmittee. Many persons worked on the several different aspects of the Anniversary Program and their contributions are here recognized with appreciation.
