This manual provides step-by-step directions for developing an inservice staff training program in a rehabilitation facility. The manual is organized in five chapters. Following an introduction that defines inservice training, the first chapter discusses inservice problem identification procedures (conduct a needs assessment and determine present performance and existing deficiencies), while the second chapter presents 10 steps for developing an inservice training program (commit the facility to staff training; select training objectives; write performance objectives; select course prerequisites; select and sequence course content; construct competency tests; select an instructional method; determine instructor requirements; select and prepare training aids; and determine equipment requirements). The third and fourth chapters provide information on evaluating the inservice training program and responding to changing inservice needs. The final chapter presents three models of training programs: the Stanton conferencing instructional package for group instruction; the Rottier "turnover notebook" style of instructional packages for individual learning; and the Rehabilitation Associate Training for Employed Staff (RATES) modules for individual or group learning. Appendixes contain needs assessment formats, a DACUM chart format for developing curriculum objectives, a chart of instructional strategies, a resource list, and inservice training forms and curriculum.

Designed for beginning teachers, this text introduces the teacher as "reflective decision maker," responsible for planning, implementing, evaluating, and making management decisions in the classroom. Each chapters considers a particular teaching skill—first discussing the theory behind it, and then presenting the reader with practice situations in which knowledge about the skill can be applied and evaluated. The Eighth Edition continues to address the importance of core INTASC standards, and highlights developing issues including the "Digital Divide," the use of personal digital assistants (PDAs) in and outside of the classroom, cooperative learning, and dealing with behavioral issues. Core INTASC standards are addressed in regard to each chapter's objectives. A correlation table between chapter and standard is located on the inside front cover of the text to facilitate documentation of where and how INTASC standards are addressed. New! Marginal notations appear throughout the text to call-out key concepts and assist students with comprehension and review. New! Two-color design helps to organize the information more clearly for students. Chapter 10 focuses on assessment and includes extended discussion of rubics with additional examples, as well as a new section on electronic portfolios. Chapter 9 has been revised to include a focus on cooperative learning and other strategies brought back from the Sixth Edition of Classroom Teaching Skills. Chapter 8 focuses on issues of behavior management in the classroom, including parental involvement and the role of record-keeping in resolving behavioral issues. Chapter 7: Teaching and Learning with Technology, has been completely updated. Among the topics covered are the "Digital Divide"—using personal digital assistants in and outside of the classroom, micro media and simulation technology, and new productivity tools for teachers. The opening chapters have an increased emphasis on decision making, teaching models, and determining one's own teaching goals.
