title: Staff development: an alternative to inservice education.
abstract: Continuing education may be viewed from two perspectives. Inservice programs are often perceived as externally mandated activities oriented toward the correction of deficiencies. In contrast, the staff development approach involves the shared decision making of the participant and supervisor in the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages of the learning process. Research indicates that the philosophical and managerial perspectives associated with staff development enhance efforts at implementing change.
