Abstract
The need for staff development that would improve teacher effectiveness and increase student learning is a universal need for school districts in Iowa. The need in rural districts is especially critical because of the existing danger of low morale among staff members. News reports about the so-called inferior quality of "small" schools probably contribute to this attitude. The pressure to meet pending state standards can be overwhelming to small staffs in rural communities and also may be a contributor to the morale problem. Limited funds have been a factor in the lack of appropriate staff development that could counter-act the problem.
