In a time of financial retrenchment, staff development involving factors external to the college (consultants, travel, workshops) must be reduced, yet staff development has been identified as the challenge to be met during the current decade. For the past year, Hagerstown Junior College (Maryland) has been operating an Instructional Clinic (IC) designed to be congruent with the needs of faculty and staff and drawing upon resources which already exist within the college. The IC is systematic and outcome oriented. It begins by analyzing concerns expressed by members of the college community. Assistance in meeting the concerns is drawn from the expertise possessed by other members of the community. In 1975-76, the IC met 14 times and approximately one-half of the staff attended at least one clinic. Nine issues were analyzed and consensus mandated continuing the process in 1976-77. Among the results produced by the IC in its first year were: development of a readability index for application to all text materials, design of an item analysis model to assess test validity, development of computerized reliability testing, development of audio-tutorial modules explaining term paper preparation, and development of a video-tape instructional evaluation model. The IC is capable of resolving problems inherent in externally based staff development. (Author/JDS)
