ing various extra-curricular ac­
tivities available to the individual
faculty member, she added.
The staff development pro­
gram is divided into four general
categories-faculty, management,
institutional and organizational,
Fryett said.
The Staff Development Steer­
ing Committee is responsible for
all four of these College areas in
terms of recommendations on
the planning, organizing, facil­
itating and assessing of a com­
prehensive staff development
program, he said.
The committee consists of
department chairpersons, stu­
dent leaders and various mem­
bers of the College's admini­
stration, Fryett added.
During these in-service days,
Fryett said, the teachers attend
various workshops and seminars.
The workshops include AGP ra­
pid reading, psychology of man­
agement or a faculty exchange
program.

forms composed of questions
pertaining to these various pro­
grams, Fryett said.
The first form, or individual
staff development plan, places
questions as to what workshops,
seminars, schooling, staff ex­
changes, participation in outside
professional organizations the
faculty member is interested in.
After the members have com­
pleted their academic activities,
their progress will be evaluated
in a summary presented at the
annual evaluation conference,
Fryett said.
The second form, or staff
development funding request,
pertains to the questions of the
preceding form in terms of how
much financing is necessary to
enable the faculty member to
partake in his or her desired
academic interests, he added.
Each faculty member is grant­
ed $100, through collective bar­
gaining, for travelling expenses.

"We are trying to hold this
activity at times when it is felt
that community members hope­
fully will take the time to come
see us," said Ron Kaiser, dean
of instruction. "In this partic­
ular case, we are having it right
before the
election and we in­
tend to 'lay it right out' that
that is the purpose of this in­
vitation -• to come and see what

"The plans- for the event are
taking shape and seem to be
forming into an exciting and re­
warding experience for our staff
and the public," Kaiser said.
