✦ Synopsis


Performance feedback was used on the job as the primary procedure to train four direct-care staff at a large state residential facility to administer a comprehensive set of teaching behaviors while they taught self-care skills to developmentally delayed residents. All trainees improved their teaching when provided feedback on the job, but maintained their skills to a lesser extent after a two month follow-up assessment. Residents made modest progress toward independence. Implications for designing methods to promote acquisition and maintenance of staff teaching skills and to provide more effective learning experiences for residents are discussed.
