Abstract	This paper presents suggestions for leaders in science education to assist in developing effective stakeholder groups contributing to the reform in science education. In this political climate initiatives to reform science teacher education and science education for students K-16 are expected to involve stakeholders from a variety of sectors in schools, universities, and the community. Facilitating the organization and work of such groups usually falls to the current leaders in science education in schools, state agencies, and universities. The diverse backgrounds of the various stakeholders are a double-edged sword. On one hand, they provide new ideas from which to develop creative programs. On the other hand, the varied perspectives that enrich the base of ideas also create enormous communication barriers that often impede progress. The suggestions offered emerged from a grounded theory study of an excercise in facilitated stakeholder discussion aimed at creating an ideal science teacher education program consistent with today's national goals. The findings are applicable to developing science programs for school students as well. (ERIC).
