Staff Development Coordinators Assess the Administrative Needs of Georgia's 186 Local School Systems: A 1988 Survey.
Katz, Malcolm
Staff development coordinators in the Georgia school systems responded to a survey to assess their perceptions of the administrative needs of their school districts. Of the 61 needs surveyed, staff development coordinators selected staff morale and group dynamics as their most critical areas of need, followed by evaluating program effectiveness and implementing changes. Long- and short-term planning was their third-highest-ranked need. Comparisons between the ranking of staff development coordinators and Georgia's school principals and superintendents who responded to identical surveys one year earlier are shown. The results of the two surveys are similar. Three of the coordinators' ten highest-ranked needs were people/relationship centered, five were leadership/supervision centered, and two were administrative/technical needs. Twenty-two were identified as role-specific for staff development coordinators. The rankings of all 61 needs by mean score and the percent of coordinators rating each as "High Need" are shown. The response rate to the survey was 83.5 percent. (JD)
