Dr. G. W. Montgomery stated, The best indication that the program was a success was the improving test scores. Decatur Places Top I As Staff Is Recognized by AASA In a meeting with Superintendent Dr. G. W. Mongtomery, Staff Development Coor- dinators Cynthia Bowler and LaVerne Can- trail discussed new ideas. Commenting on the success of the programs and the award, Mrs. Bowler stated, We truly are number one in the state. On October 28, 1986, Superintendent Dr. G. W. Mon- tgomery announced that Decatur Township was one of the nine school districts in the nation to be recognized by the American Association of School Ad- ministrators (AASA) for an ex- emplary staff development program. The plaque was presented in a special session at the 1987 AASA Convention in New Orleans, Loui- siana. Cynthia Bowler and LaVerne Cantrell occupy the positions of full-time Staff Development Coor- dinators and represented Decatur Township staff improvement program. In 1983, Teachers Expectation Student Achievement (T.E.S.A.)- was developed in hope of heighten- ing teachers ' awareness of interac- tion in the classroom. All ad- ministration also were trained, pro- viding a sound basis for understan- ding essential instructional strategies. The program ' s success was made possible by teachers who were committed to their students, administrators who were interested in more than managing schools, and a school board who realized that the great asset of a school district is its people. Another program, Critical Elements of Instruction (C.E.I.), was added to the staff improve- ment program. The program was offered on a voluntary basis. C.E.I, emphasized the instructional skills of the teacher. The goal of the pro- gram was to have the participants understand the strategies that pro- moted student learning and apply these strategies appropriately. 138 Faculty
