Abstract	This book represents a 2-year study of the problems and possibilities for extending the education of teachers to include education in international and cultural pluralism. It presents evidence and conclusions drawn from visits to a 50-institution cross section of colleges and universities where teachers are prepared and from conferences with educators, government officials, students, United Nations personnel, and members of private organizations and public agencies. The "Introduction" reviews the methodology of the study and places it in the context of current activity in the field. Chapter 1 is a background analysis of the dimensions of the problem of educating teachers in the American system and its cultural and social setting. The role of "Colleges for Teachers" is dicsussed in Chapter 2, particularly with reference to programs of such groups as the Peace Corps. Chapter 3 reviews programs of "International Experience Abroad and at Home" which are possible through existing organizations and international connections. Chapter 4, "The Certification Question," deals with the role of federal, state, and local agencies along with educational associations and private organizations in teacher education. "The Cultural Element in Foreign Policy," examines the relationship between the education of American teachers and the conduct of foreign policy. A final chapter summarizes 72 recommencations for improving the quality of education in a world dimension. (JS)
