Intended to provide background information for task force use, this set of working papers concludes with recommendations for revising the University of Oregon College of Education teacher preparation programs. Section I summarizes the concerns of Oregon educators, reports recommendations made by an ad hoc state committee and the chancellor, and assesses the college's status in relation to those recommendations. Section II--on induction programs--reviews statements advocating that extended teacher education include induction, analyzes 5-year preparation programs in other states, and discusses state-mandated programs for first-year teachers, noting common elements, problems, and benefits. In section III the effects of state-entry induction programs, campus-based extended programs, and existing University of Oregon programs are assessed. A proposed campus-based extended program is outlined that would place two licensed interns in a classroom, each to be paid a regulated percentage of a beginning teacher's salary. Appendixes include joint committee and chancellor's recommendations, recurrent themes in the Oregon education dialog, models of 5-year campus-based preservice programs, a description of Georgia's performance-based certification system, and proposals entitled "Improving the Quality of Teacher education in Oregon."
