This monograph considers 12 questions which could provide guidelines for local administrators and school boards to follow in considering the concept of differentiated staffing: 1) What are your instructional objectives and is the proposed staffing pattern related to these objectives? 2) Will the proposed new patterns provide for continued flexibility so that the school system can adapt to future needs? 3) Will the new patterns be developed so that they will be able to individualize the teaching-learning process? 4) Do your plans for the training of educational personnel incorporate the same principles inherent in your instructional plans for children? 5) If more efficient time utilization is one of your primary concerns, will your school provide the necessary training for educational personnel? 6) Have you prepared for the training of personnel so that the school can make optimum use of the skills of administrative staff? 7) Will the proposed pattern contribute to the enhancement of teacher professionalism? 8) Will instructional personnel be involved in the decision-making process when relevant to their responsibilities? 9) Has the community been involved in planning the new patterns? 10) Have other agencies and institutions participated in the planning? 11) To what extent will the re-examination of your school organization be coordinated with other local, state, and federal programs? 12) Have you considered a design for evaluating the patterns?
