This study is concerned with school-based staff development. It
looks briefly at the reasons for this development, emanating from changes
in society and schools.
First it traces the growth of school-based staff development
overseas and in Australia. A variety of approaches to school-based
staff development activities is demonstrated by a selection of case
studies in the United Kingdom, United States and Australia.
The study then examines staff development provisions in the ACT
education system, a system based on the philosophy of participatory
decision making. It then looks closely, by means of description and
questionnaire, at staff development in a particular school in this
system, Duffy Primary School.
The study concludes with recommendations and a model for staff
development in schools.
The writer implemented a school-based model of staff development
at Duffy Primary School independent of other current theories and
practices on school-based staff development. His most recent reading
and research outlined in this study have confirmed the basic soundness
of the school-based model of staff development.
