WAYS IN WHICH GUIDANCE COUNSELORS CAN HELP TEACHERS DEVELOP ABILITY IN GUIDANCE WERE ASSESSED IN THIS STUDY, PRIMARILY BASED ON DATA COLLECTED DURING 1957-58, WITH RECENT PERTINENT DATA ADDED. DESCRIPTIONS AND EVALUATIONS WERE MADE OF SUCH IN SERVICE EDUCATION METHODS AS STAFF MEETINGS, CONFERENCES, PROFESSIONAL READING AND ASSOCIATIONS, TEAM TEACHING, WORK EXPERIENCES, AND TRAVEL, AND FOR LECTURES, FILMS AND FILM DISCUSSIONS, DEMONSTRATIONS, TELEVISION, CASE STUDIES, CRITICAL INCIDENTS, AND MANUALS. TAPE-RECORDED INTERVIEWS, MADE WITH OVER 100 ALABAMA ADMINISTRATORS, SUPERVISORS, GUIDANCE WORKERS, AND CLASSROOM TEACHERS, INDICATED SEVERAL CHANGES NEEDED IN ALABAMA SCHOOLS. ACTIVITIES APPROPRIATE FOR GUIDANCE COORDINATORS IN IN SERVICE TEACHER EDUCATION INCLUDE ASSISTING WITH A CHILD'S PROBLEMS, CREATING AND MAINTAINING SERVICES IN WHICH TEACHERS ARE CO-WORKERS, PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONFERENCES AND CASUAL CONTACTS, PARTICIPATING IN CURRICULUM AND ADMINISTRATIVE PLANNING, EVALUATING GUIDANCE SERVICES AND FACILITIES, AND KEEPING INFORMED OF AVENUES OF IN SERVICE GROWTH.
