Abstract	This presentation offers a design for developing a long term staff improvement program using the talents available in a small or rural school district with low financial resources, limited personnel time, and difficulty in obtaining outside training. The plan focuses on improving teaching skills through a participatory structure involving peer coaching and trainer team building. Details of the project design are described. Discussion of the plan focuses on research findings on teaching skills and teaching models to which components of effective teaching are applied. Ways of providing training on these models are discussed with emphasis on the effectiveness of peer coaching and trainer teams. Each of these techniques is considered in the light of its impact on teachers, students and school districts. Supplementary materials on building support teams for school improvement include a model and outline of steps in a basic practice model as well as a coaching guide and lesson design for effective teaching and a checklist for implementing an innovation.
