This paper sets forth recommendations for the topics and organization of preservice and inservice teacher training activities on the use of microcomputers for instructional purposes. A review of the literature on the framework for staff development programs is presented, pointing out the salient characteristics of successful inservice education programs. Opinions were sought from teachers who were considered effective in the use of microcomputers for mathematics and science instruction. A synthesis of the responses of the teachers (both elementary and secondary level) is presented. Suggestions on the organizational features of a staff development program included: (1) voluntary participation; (2) clearly stated objectives; (3) activities which meet teachers' needs and plans in a timely manner; (4) courseware immediately applicable to teachers' instructional needs; (5) instruction individualized as far as possible; (6) an experienced instructor; (7) sufficient "hands-on" practice; and (8) some incentives. Recommendations for program content included: (1) operation of the computers; (2) selection and evaluation of courseware; (3) instructional uses of computers; (4) initial training to include computer "literacy"; (5) integration of computers with instruction; and (6) computer programming. It was also recommended that computer education be included in preservice teacher education programs. (JD)
