- Summary:
-
This 3-year project aimed to improve delivery of support and instructional services among 33 West Virginia county school districts in implementing special education mandates. The participating school districts are within the service area of West Virginia University. The introduction details each year's objectives. "Year one" pursued needs assessment and pilot training; "year two" involved workshop training; and "year three" provided followup and dissemination. Section 1 discusses inservice training for development of administrative teams. Needs assessment analyses determined problem areas among districts in providing effective special education services. Section 2 discusses administrative challenges and gives examples of workshop materials and procedures, including the use of role-playing. Administrative topics are as follows: (1) communication and coordination; (2) planning and budgeting; and (3) facilities, transportation, and equipment. Section 3 details inservice processes of two sessions for members to identify individual county needs in planning development. County consultants facilitated communication and acted as resources for technical assistance and evaluation. Figures present data on consultants' procedures and inservice members' participation. An analysis considers project effectiveness. Workshop evaluation forms and lists of teams are included. One result brought about by the involvement of district personnel in planning is that increased responsibilities and involvement should promote positive attitudes toward programs and cooperation throughout district organization. Districts and the university continue to cooperate. Districts in West Virginia have exceeded special education compliance in striving for quality. Needs assessment instruments, 10 pages of references, and a list of 13 audiovisual resources are appended. (CJH)
