Abstract

The development, operation and evaluation of a federally supported (National Science Foundation Grant SMI77-13063) program to develop teachers trained in computing and its application to serve as computer resource persons in their local schools is described. The need for such a project is delineated as partial motivation of the work reported. From this the objectives and project operational plan are established. The financial support mechanism is discussed. The actual operation and evaluation are described and conclusions are drawn.
