Abstract	This publication reports on a seminar held over five days which brought together teachers and administrators from the Albany (New York) area schools and colleges and universities to discuss teacher preparation and professional development. Opening sections introduce the seminar, list participants, and detail the six procedural steps that the seminar followed. An introductory essay describes some initial conversations and ideas as the event began, and an important emerging vision of teacher education as a systematic program of life-long professional development in the teaching profession with initial emphasis on practices, skills, and theory and progressively broader and deeper experiences appropriate to teachers' evolving assignments. The next section makes recommendations to improve and enrich the initial training devoted to the preparation of teachers. The recommendations include recognition of a common core of professional knowledge, expansion beyond the traditional 4-year program, linking foundations to practice, and promotion of communication and cooperation among preparing institutions. A section on ideas for the internship phase of training included a series of coordinated steps for colleges and universities responsible for placement and supervision. A section on professional practice covers teacher development as an ongoing process. Final sections include a brief Afterword and an essay by Nelson Armlin "Reflections on the Profession of Teaching." (JB)
