Report of Early Childhood Education Programs Staff Development. Volume I and Volume II (Appendices). Report No. 7843.
Goodwin, Judy; Prusso, Kenneth W.
This report describes a survey of instructional staff in eight School Districts of Philadelphia early childhood education programs regarding their views of staff development activities. The programs were: Child Care, Original Follow Through, Follow Through Expansion, Get Set Day Care, Kindergarten, Parent Cooperative Nurseries, Prekindergarten Head Start, and Primary Skills. Supervisory personnel, teachers, assistant teachers and aides completed one of two comprehensive staff development questionnaires investigating such areas as: types of ongoing staff development provided by supervisors; staff attendance at workshops; staff satisfaction with development activities; and the impact of staff development on classroom practices. Data were collected in the spring of 1977. Questionnaire response rates are discussed and major staff development characteristics are examined across the eight programs in terms of supervisory staff responses, and teacher, assistant teacher, and aides response. The appendices, which comprise the bulk of the document, contain the two questionnaires and a summary of responses for each program. (SB)
