This hardcover report, commonly known as the Rosner Report, is based on the findings of the Committee on National Program Priorities in Teacher Education (CNPPTE). The recommendations focus on developing the necessary conditions for competency-based teacher education and certification as well as developing incentives for inservice teacher training. The committee report is followed by papers authored by individual committee members. The committee report presents a rationale and recommendations for competency-based teacher education and certification. Papers prepared by the committee concern a 5-year goal for training complexes, an operational plan for program development in teacher education, notes on a school-university consortium for teacher education, educational personnel development programs that make a difference in teacher education, facilitating local options and coordination of programs, and the relationship of five thrusts in teacher education. Appendixes of related background material are included.
