The Board of Teacher Registration, which is reponsible for the registration of teachers in Queensland, Australia, has established a professional education committee to assist in conferring and collaborating with interested groups on teacher education programs. These guidelines have been produced to assist institutions to develop preservice programs which will enable graduates to be registered as teachers in Queensland. In establishing these guidelines the board seeks to develop a cooperative relationship with institutions where a climate of consultation and mutual respect is emphasized. This publication outlines the program guidelines for higher education institutions and discusses the procedures involved in obtaining board approval of teacher education programs. The discussion of program guidelines focuses on the following topics: the educational context within which the program is offered; institutional procedures for consultation in program development; the rationale and objectives, content and process, and structure of programs and curricula; and assessment of student work.
