Abstract	The Block Program is one of five major options at Indiana University, Bloomington, for students preparing to become elementary teachers. The project emphasizes team approach to instruction; flexibility of program; carefully articulated work with respect to preparation in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies; carefully articulated collegiate and field experiences in the schools; and student representation in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the program. A questionnaire concerning employment status was administered to 1973, 1974, and 1975 graduates of the program. The results indicate that almost 85 percent of those seeking full-time teaching positions were successful. About 80 percent hold positions in public schools organized on a self-contained basis; 20 percent are in schools featuring team teaching or departmentalization. Personal initiative on the part of the candidate in finding a position was judged to be important but not as significant as had been rumored. Some areas of future study concerning the Block Program are discussed. (JMF)
