A consortium of 15 Nebraska colleges of education was established to provide collaborative means for examining significant research for teacher education, to share information about programs and activities, and to provide a support network as the institutions work on program improvement. A description is given of the formation of the Consortium and its membership, goals, and organization. The activities of the Consortium during its first two years are outlined, and the action plans generated by participants in the workshops are discussed. The major focus of the workshops was the utilization of research on teaching and learning in teacher education programs. Plans for the future of the Consortium are discussed. Issues related to Consortium activities, such as organizational structure, long-range tasks, and funding, are considered. (JD)
