Title: A PLANNING MODEL FOR THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A STAFF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE PART‐TIME FACULTY
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to provide data that could be used in the conceptualization and construction of a staff development model for community college part‐time faculty. A series of questions, based on a review of literature and advisory committee suggestions, were developed and served as a basis for the study. The data indicated that community college part‐time faculty training needs could be identified and placed into a prioritized arrangement of major categories. These included: (1) mission of the community college, (2) instructional development and delivery, (3) legal aspects of education, and (4) classroom and lab management of education. A further result of the data analysis was the identification of specific staff development components which were ultimately used in the design of a training model. These included: (1) administration of the training, (2) determination of the training needs, (3) development and organization of curriculum components, (4) identification of populations to be served, (5) logistics of the training program, (6) funding, and (7) support services. A final result of the study included the identification of optimum desirable conditions for the conduct of staff development activities. The study concluded with major recommendations that part‐time faculty staff development should be established as an integral component of the total college organization and based on the developed model. Included in this should be an administrator appointed to direct the program, specific goals and objectives, an advisory committee, and promotion both internally and externally.
