This document presents a short summary of ten model elementary teacher education programs developed under the sponsorship of the U.S. Office of Education--the original nine models plus the Wisconsin Elementary Teacher Education Program. After a short explanation of the general approach and objectives of the models, they are compared with each other and with current practice in the areas of instructional goals, overall program organization, curriculum design, institutional relationships, innovation, student guidance, management and control, and placement and followup. An appendix lists the directors of the projects and other reports on the models, some available through ERIC Document Reproduction Service. (RT)
