An inservice program, Project Alert, was conducted during the summer of 1973 in 50 school districts in New York State. Project Alert had a two-fold purpose: to increase the diagnostic/prescriptive skills of selected classroom teachers and to increase the leadership capabilities of the selected teachers so that they might function as inservice facilitators during the following school year. Evaluation of the inservice program was accomplished through the use of teachers' self-ratings, directors' ratings, and monitors' ratings. Analysis of the pre- and post-self-ratings suggests that teacher competency increased between the start of the inservice program and its termination. (TO)
