- Abstract
This paper is one of a series of vocational papers reporting results of individualized continuing education (ICE) programs for school administrators and school climate improvement programs. It summarizes the practices of some 45 school districts throughout the nation that have actually been operating individualized continuing education programs. Each district is involved in developing its administrator renewal program by focusing on school improvement through improved leadership behavior of school administrators. The essential questions discussed here are those concerning a definition of individualized continuing education, the basic ingredients of such a school district program, processes to be utilized by a school district in organizing and sustaining such a program, and the means by which an individual school administrator might organize his self renewal program. The guidebook is for superintendents, principals, key teachers, professors, coordinators, area superintendents, assistant principals, assistant superintendents, and others interested in self and school improvement processes. It is also designed for school administrators responsible for developing inservice education programs for school district leadership personnel. Although the word "school" is used throughout, the concepts and practices described are equally applicable for educators associated with school district level operating divisions. (Author)
