A Case Study in Planning Staff Development: What Do Teachers Really Need?

Allen, Bobbie M.

American Annals of the Deaf, v139 n5 p493-99 Dec 1994

Through individual interviews and focus groups, teachers, support staff, parents, deaf students and administrators participated in a training needs assessment (TNA). The focus was on actual teacher signing skills, the optimal performance desired, and possible solutions. TNA proved to be an effective staff development planning tool. (Author/DB)
