Three workshops were held in 1977 in central Pennsylvania to provide a coordinated effort to improve and expand the knowledge of health occupations teachers on the secondary and postsecondary levels. Each workshop provided five days of concentrated learning activities in one of the following areas: methods of instruction for health occupations teachers, evaluation in health occupation education, and dental-assisting activities for health occupations teachers. The participant preservice and inservice teachers attended sessions designed to provide them with up-to-date information on health occupations education; with continuity of effort in Pennsylvania health occupations programs; with methods for improving instruction and developing, designing, and evaluating courses; with guidelines for new and emerging clinical experience activities; and with the background to meet certification requirements. Based on surveys of the demographic characteristics and workshop evaluations of the participants, it was found that: (1) while a majority had experience in nursing, few had experience in other fields of health occupations education; (2) a majority held teaching certificates and usually were certified to teach more than two subject areas; (3) a majority planned to implement or had already used information gained at the workshops; and (4) generally the workshops were worthwhile, open, and effective. Future inservice activities of this type were recommended. (ELG)
