PREFACE

He only earns his-freedom and existence Who daily conquers them anew.

Goethe

The objective of this document is to provide the elementary school p,rincipal with some understanding of the concepts =of adult learning and development, and an awareness of some of the

procesi and techniques of a staff development program.

Although reference is made to the school principal, the material can be used by anyone conducting staff development programs and sessions. To be able to actually conduct the wide range of activities presented here, one might require additional material and actual training before one can be competent in conducting them.

Developing support of community and policy groups such as boardi of education for staff training programs is essential for the development of a program. This is in itself a process which needs competent planning and leadership.No small start towards support for staff development programs is being sure that those one does sponsor even in small ways are effective:
