Inservice Training for the 1980's

Abstract

Inservice training must be improved and expanded in the years ahead to meet the needs of those who work with young handicapped children. Recognizing and avoiding the problems of general inservice and viewing inservice as adult education with a content focus on the child provides a background for improving training. Inservice must be individualized by matching teacher needs with inservice options, Selecting experienced consultants to meet specific local needs and incorporating a variety of instructional strategies into training sessions can provide a positive direction for inservice in the 1980's.
