This paper describes a case study evaluation of the first year of an inservice staff development program in Galax City Schools, Virginia. The program was designed to teach teachers how to deliver subject matter associated with "The Teaching of Thinking Skills Program," sponsored by a Chapter II Competitive Block Grant. The program had two components and two teacher trainer consultants: one for "Writing to Learn" and the other for "Reading to Learn." The purpose of the case study was to assess teacher attitudes toward the program and program effectiveness. The data collection instruments consisted of an attitude questionnaire; observations of training sessions; and interviews with teachers, consultants, and administrators. The evaluation concluded that teachers felt the program to be worthwhile, but that the quality of the training sessions required instructional delivery improvement. These improvements included decreasing day-long inservice presentations, diversifying instructional materials, providing subject matter thematic unity, reducing class size, and having more enthusiastic teacher trainers.
