ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the wider application of Process-Based Instruction (PBI) in schools, including roles of resource/remedial teachers, use of a PBI coordinator in the school; and staff training for PBI. It outlines the manner in which various school personnel can use PBI and how support networks can be readily formed. In some schools in which PBI has not been adopted at whole-staff level, there are a number of teachers who use the model as framework for classroom teaching. Like many other teachers, they have established their own teaching style and classroom management practices, and have adapted the curriculum in their own way. One resource teacher has been using PBI in large independent school for a number of years. The school staff was given an introduction to PBI as part of their professional development programme and the resource teacher recognized its potential for dealing with students with learning difficulties at all grades, especially those in the secondary department of the school.
