The SECDC inservice training program for teachers of the mentally retarded uses experienced special class teachers as inservice educators. These “consulting teachers” are trained to conduct monthly inservice sessions. Curriculum publications are prepared specifically for the field sessions by a staff at The University of Iowa, and an intermediate school district publishes the materials. Coordination is provided by the Iowa Department of Public Instruction. The purpose of the training program is to establish an ongoing inservice program which utilizes the teachership talents of teachers and which focuses on concerns relevant to their needs.

The widespread use of large group-meetings as a treatment modality has exceeded the availability of staff trained in large group methods. The basic elements of an inservice training program are regular attendance by experienced senior staff who serve as role models, the serious and open use of review meetings following each large group meeting, and the establishment of group norms that facilitate functioning. A few crucial norms are identified and their importance is illustrated with examples from large group meetings.

The need for awareness and management of seizure disorders is a major problem for educators. This need may be more important for personnel who work with children classified as emotionally disturbed because one form of seizure disorder, psychomotor seizures, may easily be misinterpreted as recalcitrant behavior. Project SAFE (Seizure Assimilation For Educators) was designed as a pilot project to train education personnel in the various aspects of seizure management. The project training program, utilizing a pretest/posttest design, compared the knowledge levels of 33 educators on seizure disorders and their management. Results were found to be statistically significant, which indicated that teachers had little knowledge of seizure disorders and their management, and that Project SAFE was an effective educational model for mainstream inservice training.
