Innovation and in-service education and training of teachers: United Kingdom
Report on inservice teacher education (INSET) and teacher improvement in the UK, 1970-1975, with case studies on: the Teacher Induction Pilot Schemes Project, colleges of higher education and INSET, role of open colleges in INSET at a distance, local curriculum development and INSET, and school-focused INSET - The decentralization of the educational system has led to a multitude of agencies which offer INSET. In 1972, a government policy statement proposed a substantial increase in both induction and INSET. Most local education authorities provide INSET through teacher centres and advisers, teachers colleges will now take part in INSET, universities provide award-bearing courses, and the Department of Education and Science contributes to INSET through its inspectors, short courses, and inservice courses organized jointly with the University Area Training Organisations. The need for training in management of principals has been recognized and several courses have been arranged. Two schemes successfully gave beginning teachers a 75 percent teaching load. Bulmershe College of Higher Education has established a strong INSET programme and a resource centre. Both educational radio and educational television make valuable contributions to INSET. Bibliography p. 116-119.
