Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore what proportion of staff development as measured by the National Staff Development Council’s Standard Assessment Inventory (SAI) contributes to campus success as measured by the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). Two exploratory null hypotheses were generated and tested in an attempt to explore outcomes using the SAI and TAKS scores.

H0 Campus success (Y) is not a function of the context (X1), process (X2), or content (X3) components of staff development. The responding population (n=81 teachers; n=23 campuses) completed surveys which were then analyzed along with campus TAKS averages. An exploratory linear regression analysis in the investigation of the first null hypothesis revealed a regression coefficient, (R) .668 (R2 = .447, adjusted R2 =.420), p
