(2) Are prototypes available to assist in the design of inservice workshops? (3) How are reassigned teachers being helped to transfer generic skills to different grade levels and subject areas? (4) What are the most important areas of teacher need? (5) What delivery systems have been designed to assist teachers in designated areas of need? (6) How do teachers develop a positive attitude toward staff development? (7) What kinds of staff development should take place at universities and colleges? (8) What problems in communication can occur between the initial step of needs assessment and the matching of an appropriate delivery system to fulfill the identified need? and (9) What kind of impact does professional development make toward the quality and quantity of students' learning?
