Abstract | Recognizing that the present provisions for inservice education in New Zealand are inadequate, the Advisory Council on Educational Planning instructed their Standing Committee on Teacher Training to prepare a comprehensive report on future directions for the continuing education of teachers. The Committee in its report investigated the nature of preservice education, the general progression of teaching careers, the need for coordinating pre- and inservice education (to keep abreast of professional developments, to prepare for positions of greater responsibility and leadership, to specialize, to cope with new approaches and unfamilar situations), the question of teacher qualifications, study leave allowances, and the education of teacher educators. The problems of organization and administration of new inservice programs in view of present resources were also examined. The Committee attached importance to two basic concepts: (1) that the education of teachers should be seen as a continuous, integrated process and (2) that periodic leave for professional renewal should be provided. The Committee also saw three areas requiring urgent action: (1) the support of teachers during the first three years of teaching; (2) thre retraining of senior teachers; and (3) the expansion of courses for secondary teachers.
