Abstract
I will relate my position on the state of staff development in rural schools from the perspective of my past experience, what is happening now, and what may be in the future.
My twenty-one years in eight different rural schools in Iowa have seen staff development change from lip service only to a present scramble of sorting through the maze of where to go from here. Starting in 1967, staff development was a day in Des Moines when all teachers in the state attended the ISEA Convention at Vet's Auditorium. As a rookie principal, I remember working with the superintendent on some staff development material he was working on through Iowa State University. We used some resource material on improving teaching provided through the tri-county superintendent's office.
