The staff-development process in a small community college that has no full-time Educational Development Officer is described. The process is discussed in relation to faculty improvement meetings, professional improvement meetings, staff and program development fund, federally funded projects, vocational/technical grants, departmental and individual faculty/staff projects, and grant applications for 1974-75. The schoolwide objectives for the faculty/staff/program improvement are provided. The methods of meeting the objectives are discussed in relation to faculty mini-workshops. The improvement program is described in the three areas of: methods of improving instruction, critical issues, and the use of nationally known consultants. The Florida system of staff and program development funds and coordination of the statewide program are sketched. Twelve faculty development meetings held during 1973-74 are listed. (DB)
