ERIC ED092815: Changes Facing Pupil Personnel Services Training and Service.
The Education Professional Development Act inaugurated, in 1971, a Pupil Personnel Services Program to encourage recruitment, training, and program development for more versatile pupil personnel service workers. The program established seven three-year regional projects, each with a center providing leadership to smaller satellite settings. A center-satellite project clusters a university, community, and school districts. During the spring of 1973, the center-satellite project based at the University of Pittsburgh conducted a series of six workshops. Workshop sponsors and topics included: (1) Buffalo Satellite, "Humanistic Education and PPS-Building Team Skills," (2) Boston Satellite, "A New Look at Clinical Competencies," (3) Brockport Satellite, "Reinforcing Administrator Roles Through Counselor Education," (4) Pittsburgh/Duquesne Satellite, "The School as a Training Site," (5) Washington, D.C. Satellite, "University-School Relations: Implementing the Waddy Decree," (6) Pittsburgh Center, "The Multi-Cultural Community and the Counselor." This document reports the proceedings and materials emanating from the workshops. Each satellite project is described, and an introductory paper reviews the staff and program development strategies employed by the project as a totality. (Author/NM)
