The document explains how the state of Pennsylvania handles inservice teacher education. It describes the use of local councils composed of school personnel, students, and community people, who suggest courses to be offered for inservice credit. The standards for these courses are listed. Sample forms are appended which show how a teacher applies for academic credit for courses and how someone wishing to teach an inservice course presents his/her curriculum outline. The relevant laws in the Code of Education are also included. (CD)
