Five years of designing and implementing staff development projects between Fitchburg State College (Massachusetts) and local school districts has led to the development of a collaborative planned change model. This model and six exemplary projects implemented in public schools in three districts are described in this paper, and each project is further described in a matrix indicating the components of the model which were operational in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project. Projects described are: (1) Facilitating Support Groups for Teachers; (2) Behavior Management Stategies for Mainstreamed Special Education Students; (3) School and Classroom Behavior Management Strategies; (4) Integrating Computer Technology in the Curriculum; (5) Mathematics and Science Curriculum Revision K-12; and (6) The Psycho-Linguistic Approach to Language.
