Chapter 1 describes procedures for program approval in teacher training institutions. Chapter 2 covers the organizational, administrative, and operational divisions that support a teacher education program and outlines procedures for requesting approval for an experimental or innovative teacher education program. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with curriculum principles and standards for basic and advanced programs.
