A planning project for the identification of research and evaluation efforts in teacher education to be undertaken in the state of Ohio is described. The planning project's philosophy was that all elements of the teacher education community should be involved in the planning of directions for teacher education research and evaluation (R&E) and that they should be mobilized to participate in R&E to the extent feasible and appropriate. The project focused on state-level planning, but national and local levels were also considered. Chapter One, "An Introduction to Research and Evaluation in Teacher Education," discusses the nationwide concern for teacher education R&E and its related subject, teacher effectiveness. Chapter Two, "Planning for Research and Evaluation in Teacher Education--An Overview," concentrates on the background materials provided to project participants. Chapter Three, "Results of Planning for Research and Evaluation Associated with the CBTE Program of the University of Toledo," presents results of planning at the local level. Chapter Four, "Results of Planning for Research and Evaluation at the State Level: The State Planning Group Meeting," describes a statewide planning group meeting involving representatives of colleges, universities, public and private schools, teacher associations, and the Ohio State Department of Education. Chapter Five, "Concluding the Planning: A Synthesis of Planning Results," presents outcomes of the R&E planning project, which include: increased awareness of R&E in teacher education and its potential effects on the design of teacher education in Ohio; the identification, classification, organization, and prioritization of needed and desirable research and evaluation for Ohio; and a plan of action for initiating and conducting useful research and evaluation.
