This paper reports on a four-year effort by a university and a school district to implement a staff development plan for their bilingual education programs. It demonstrates that the university's three major functions of service, teaching and research need not be separated from the public needs. Staff development services provide opportunity for theory-based teacher training and for action research on the validation and demonstration of teaching delivery, learning behaviours and English as a second language acquisition. It also presents a profile of features for the design and execution of such plan. One important feature is the commitment of the university and the district, their administration and selected faculty, to conduct a staff development plan for teachers of language minority students. For the university administration it meant for its School of Education to consider staff development as an integral part of the institution's functions which was evidenced by the assignment of this author's university time to conduct the training. For the district it meant for its Bilingual Department to survey needs of teachers of language minority students and to organise groups and sites for the training. For the university faculty it meant the preparation of in-service experiences to meet the participants' training needs. For the district teaching staff members it meant their participation in courses with the same academic standards as those for regular graduate courses. A discussion on ways to replicate this experience at other universities and districts in establishing staff development policies and practices is presented. |
