WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005 The AFT -QUEST Consortium Concept "What I have in mind is an 'educational policy convention' where several hundred delegates from all over the nation would gather to discuss matters of educational policyonly. Its standing, of course, would beadvisory;its purpose primarilyexploratory.I think, however, you can readily see the value of such a meeting. Some of our members are interested primarily in improving the quality of education and they have little or no interest in AFT internal politics or other aspects of teacher unionism. The national QuEST Consortium on educational policy should become an annual meeting, the only thing of its kind: a time and place where teachers meet for the sole purpose of considering professional problems." AFT President DAVID SELDEN Education and Research Committee of the AFT Executive Council Patrick Daly, Chairman Hugo Dennis, Jr. Vivian Gallagher Phyllis Hutchinson Robert Johnson Harry Noack Walter Tice AFT Educational Research Department Dr. Robert Bhaerman, Director Marilyn Routh, Assistant Director i PREFACE The selections from the speeches and discussionsincluded in the Second Annual QuEST Yearbook give a good indication ofthe liveliness and depth of debate at the 1973 Consortium. The yearbook presents anamalgam of the thinking of practitioners and scholars in education. It is aunique source book which will find its place in educational libraries throughout the nation. I want to pay particular tribute to Dr. RobertBhaerman, Director of Educa- tional Research, and his assistant, Marilyn Rauth.They put in untold hours of effort above and beyond the call of duty in order to makethe second Consortium a success and to produce this yearbook.
