Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of teaching and learning has changed considerably in Illinois over the past one-half century. Increased pressure to compete in an ever expanding world economy and questions regarding the performance of public school systems has placed schools and teachers at the center of attention in efforts to promote accountability and an increase student performance. Professional development as a requirement for teachers to renew teaching certification and continue working in the teaching profession is one accountability measure implemented by state governments. An inadequate amount of research however, has been conducted regarding the effectiveness of professional development toward improving teaching and student performance in small rural school districts. Even less research has been conducted to determine the perceptions of teachers in those districts regarding the effectiveness of professional development and improvement of their teaching performance. The purpose of the study was to assess the perceptions of teachers in Illinois' small rural schools concerning the effectiveness of required professional development toward improving their teaching performance. To achieve this purpose a questionnaire was mailed to 378 teachers in 11 school districts. The questionnaire data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross tabulation tables. The study found that teachers perceive required professional development as effective in increasing their teaching performance, and that level of education and years of teaching experience influenced their perceptions of this effect. In addition, the study found that teachers believe there is a need to improve the state's system for overseeing required professional development and certificate renewal.

Book excerpt: A study was conducted utilizing a purposeful sample of social studies teachers in two non-contiguous Educational Service Center Regions in Illinois to answer the research question, "How does a sample of informed social studies teachers in Illinois view the 1985 state school reform package as it relates to social studies in Illinois?" Findings were generated through the use of interviews and surveys and analyzed through the use of Pattern-Matching. Included in the report are the following findings: (1) Through 1990 the direct impact of the social science component of the reform on classrooms has been slight. (2) The testing element of the reform is the dominant teacher concern in regard to the reform program. (3) Teachers are confused as to the mission of the reform program as well as its requirements. (4) Teachers report that the state test of social science achievement in Illinois will ultimately drive local curriculum. (5) Structuring curriculum to teach to the test, an eventuality predicted by most of the sample, is viewed as counter-productive by teachers. (6) Teachers view the state reform program as having failed to address the real needs of Illinois schools and social studies. (7) Teachers feel they are being unfairly held accountable for problems in society and schools that are beyond their control. (8) Teachers feel they were left out of the reform process in Illinois. (9) Teachers predict the ultimate failure of the social studies reform program in Illinois. Among the several conclusions drawn regarding the reform include: (1) The use of the standardized test will be successful in stimulating change in social studies instruction in the state. (2) The state social studies test will ultimately drive local social studies curriculum. (3) The state test will ultimately have negative effects on the teaching of thinking and reasoning skills in social studies classrooms. (4) The total state assessment program takes too much time away from classroom instruction. (5) Teachers demonstrate considerable hostility towards state authorities as a result of the reform program.
