The writer of this paper was invited to act as a consultant to Minnesota's Independent School District 196 to generate a plan and program for the inservice education of school principals within the district. The paper presents an analysis of the problem; a discussion of the organizational context and the client system; a description of the methods used for identifying the inservice needs of the principals involved; an outline of the program objectives; and the instructional, administrative, and evaluative plans for the program. The study focuses particularly on identification of the competencies and skills of the principals requiring inservice education, identification of the kinds of inservice education preferred by the principals, means of devising a program to cater to the needs identified, and the evaluation process. Extensive appendixes include materials used at all stages of the inservice program. (Author/PGD)
