The feasibility of incorporating teletraining into a statewide staff development program was examined in a comparison of four training approaches: traditional instruction and audio instruction enhanced with either slides, videocassettes, or slowscan. The training population consisted of directors and caregivers from Head Start and state-subsidized day care centers in North Carolina. Three urban and one rural teleconferencing centers were established in the state. Attendance at each site ranged from 7 to 18 teachers and aides and from 3 to 14 administrators. Lasting between 3 and 4 hours per subject area, training focused on the classroom environment, families, and financial management. It was found that teleconferencing can create a learning environment as desirable as the one created by traditional training, both in terms of amount of learning and attitudes toward training. Of the approaches examined, audioconferencing provided the most cost-effective alternative to traditional training. It was suggested that the other approaches can offer a number of benefits when used in a specialized manner. (RH)
