Evaluation of the Dade-Monroe Teacher Education Center.
Gomez, Joseph J.
The Dade-Monroe (Florida) Teacher Education Center (TEC) was evaluated. The TEC was founded in 1979 and serves the instructional personnel (teachers, teacher aides, and teacher assistants) in the public schools of Dade and Monroe counties. Program documents were reviewed and structured interviews were held with 7 TEC facilitators, 9 council members, and 12 individuals who had requested an inservice course for reasons of personal growth or professional development. The TEC also offers ancillary programs and courses. An extensive survey of 1,246 instructional personnel in the district and a limited survey of two directors of centers in other districts were also conducted. It was apparent that inservice courses were the major service offered, with 65.3% of instructional personnel having taken at least one course. Personnel generally expressed satisfaction with TEC instructors, who are carefully selected and regularly evaluated. The only ancillary service appearing to be underutilized was the professional library. There is a perception of budget constraints among staff and service recipients; however, the TEC has been very effective in meeting the district's needs. Surveys and interview forms are appended.
