Project Excel: A Model for an Individually Focused Staff Development Program.
Minix, Nancy A.; Pearce, Winston Thomas
A description is given of the development and implementation of an inservice program, "Project Excel," which was designed in accordance with andragogical theory. This theory is based upon four major assumptions: (1) as people grow, they become increasingly self-directed; (2) as people grow, a reservoir of experiences which provide a resource for learning develops; (3) as people mature, the readiness to learn becomes increasingly related to developmental tasks; and (4) the orientation toward learning grows increasingly problem-centered. Detailed information on all of the components of "Project Excel" are appended to the description of the program's development. These appendices include an inservice needs survey, a list of Project Excel III sessions, and an evaluation sheet. (JD)
