A survey of fifty-one elementary school teachers in Chicago regarding their feelings about inservice meetings indicated that: (1) a majority of teachers believed that the objectives of such meetings were not clearly defined; (2) they reported that there was no follow-up or evaluation of the meetings; (3) they generally felt that the meetings were irrelevant in terms of their professional tasks and classroom problems; and (4) they believed that there were insufficient orientation information and activities for new teachers. They recommended that inservice meetings be planned cooperatively by all participants, and that such meetings be task and activity oriented. (Author/WP)
