Implementing Reform Educators need support when they are asked to make changes to curriculum, instructional methods, or teaching styles. Staff development activities may range from traditional in-service programs that introduce new instructional techniques, to one-on-one training that may take place during school or in the workplace. Regardless of the type of intervention, training efforts should offer support to all individuals who will be participating in the reform; emphasize strategies to enable participants to implement reform; and recognize other school reform efforts that may influence the way reform affects the school. Directions: Use the worksheet below to identify the type of training that will be offered to individuals participating in your reform. Will skill needs vary across groups (e.g., administrators, teachers, and parents)? What type of training will individuals need to perform their respective roles? What reform efforts are presently under way at your school, and how might your proposed project be linked with these ongoing reforms?
