The Structured Discussion Approach (SDA) is a continuing inservice program in which faculty members mutually decide upon and attempt to solve common instructional problems. The five steps in the SDA are: identify the major instructional problems felt by the faculty, discuss with the faculty the framework behind the SDA, prepare for the outside reading phase of the SDA, begin with a trial procedure on topic one, and evaluate the process and understandings gained. The SDA allows faculties to develop independence and expertise in identifying and solving problems together. (TJ)
