| Abstract | Staff development, under the title "inservice education" has been with us ever since the time when new teachers entered the profes sion clutching their normal training certificates. For years, teachers were better educated than the general populace, and an occasional teacher's institute or convention sufficed to keep them informed about developments in their field. The school curricula (and the world) changed very little, and once teachers had demonstrated rea sonable effectiveness, they were granted per manent teaching certificates, licensing them to teach indefinitely without further training. However, as the educational system be came more complex, policy-makers began to re quire continued professional training for new or renewed certification. Salary schedules reflected concern for continuous growth through salary increments based on additional university work. Unfortunately, the additional work was not al ways directly related to increasing the com petence of the staff member in his or her teaching assignment. A New Look at an Old Idea |
