Abstract	This report describes the results of a national survey of computer supervisors in 155 public school districts that currently own microcomputers. Data from this survey were used to examine the incentive value of a variety of administrative computer policies for encouraging more widespread participation by teachers in inservice training and use of microcomputers as a tool for instruction in subject matter classes. Such policies include technical support, rewards and incentives for teachers, and the involvement of teaching staff in decisions about the implementation of microcomputer-based instruction. The report presents the conceptual framework for the study; reviews the literature on improving participation in inservice training and encouraging educational innovations; describes the survey and presents the survey results; and discusses the implications of the findings for educational research and policy. Statistical data are presented in 12 tables, the survey instrument is appended, and references are provided. (KM)
