This report examines the current status of federal and state involvement in educational personnel development. First, it describes the federal legislative process, and offers a list of members of Congressional committees dealing with education legislation. Next, it analyzes involvement of the U.S. Office of Education and of individual states in staff development. The analysis includes the results of a survey of current state activity in professional development, with emphasis on authority, funding, and state plans. The report concludes with a list of professional associations and organizations actively involved in educational personnel development, as well as a list of educational laboratories, dissemination networks, and foundations that provide resources for the professional development of educational personnel.
