INSTRUCTIONAL
RESOURCES/INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES
PROCEDURES FOR WORKSHOPS AND IN-SERVICE ACTIVITIES
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Rationale:
Staff development is an integral part of any effective school
District. It is important for in-service and pre-service activities
to be planned in such a way as to assure maximum utilization of
facilities and resources. In addition, all programs should be
directed toward the District's instructional goals and objectives.
This cannot normally be accomplished unless coordination takes place
by one individual or department. Therefore, it is essential that
programs designed to improve the instructional delivery system be
coordinated through the Assistant Superintendents for Instruction.
Workshop Responsibilities of the
Assistant Superintendents for Instruction:
- Coordinate all workshops provided in
the District;
- Make recommendations for workshops;
- Evaluate requests for workshops;
- Help design workshops, upon request;
- Provide facilities and/or resource
personnel, when appropriate;
- Conduct District workshops, upon
request;
-
Maintain a monthly workshop calendar for District workshops and/or
in-services; and
- Maintain evaluation data and
distribute to appropriate personnel, upon request.

The evaluation form to be utilized shall be at the discretion of
the sponsor. However, for purposes of data collection, the following

i.e.: parents, teachers, administrators, etc.;

- An administrator or designee who is

at least three (3) weeks prior to the date of the requested

the appropriate administrator and/or supervisor to review the
request and verify specific needs.
