• Resumen

  • Traditionally, courses approved by the Department of Education and Science (DES), financed from a national pool and offered by ‘providing’ teacher education establishments, featured prominently in in‐service training and staff development. The Grant‐Related In‐Service Training Scheme (GRIST) has introduced a system of national and local priorities which has caused a move away from courses to more reactive process‐based provision, often delivered within the school or college or by local authorities. This paper examines the response to GRIST of the ‘providing’ institutions and considers problems of needs identification, the emphasis on outcomes, and the career aspirations of individual teachers. It concludes with a brief note on the developing role of the providing institutions.
