X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.0.3.0 Status: O Content-Length: 4251 Lines: 122 Hello All, My burning questions concerning the state resource centers in addition to the ones all ready posed are: 1. How do state resource centers determine their staff development priorities? 2. How are staff development programs assessed for transfer of learning? 3. How are staff development programs presented in wide geographical areas for consistency? 4. How does the staff development agenda of the resource center fit into a local program's grant from the regulatory/administrative agent's statewide plan? 5. How are statewide priorities balanced with local staff development needs by the resource centers? I appreciate your consideration of these questions.
