Abstract
The purpose of this study was to perceive the needs of the faculty of the Warren County R-III School District in the area of in-service teacher education.
The instrument used in the study was a survey designed by the author and arranged to secure data that would give demographic information as well as obtain information for a needs assessment. The survey was distributed to the teachers through the school mailboxes .
After the information was collected, it was tallied, charted, and analyzed . In summarizing the study, it can be concluded that: 1) all teachers realize the need for in- service training, 2) the majority of teachers are willing to participate in in- service education experiences, 3) the majority of teachers favor a reward system for in- service education, 4) they believe that, to be most effective, teachers should plan and conduct their own in-service education, and 5) there is a difference in the needs of experienced teachers as opposed to the needs of the less experienced teachers.
As a result of this information, a format has been devised that will greatly improve the quality of in-service training in the school district. This form will be presented to the school administration and the Warrenton Teachers' Association with a recommendation that it be adopted and pursued.
