| 47 Office of the State Board of Education. [See Appendix D for an outline of this in-service course.] Teacher in-service training in a must and cannot be left to chance. Such training works best when it is "authorized from above." This reduces local pressure on the principals and supervising teachers. The "infusion approach" appears to work best, for it permits change with continuity, and as such, reduces implicit messages of teacher incompetence or bias.
