This article describes eight staffing strategies that can be used to implement community-based instruction. Examples of the use of the strategies, advantages and disadvantages which may accrue with implementation, and a decision-making process for selecting particular strategies are discussed. A number of recommendations for enhancing the implementation and coordination of school and community-based instruction are mentioned as well as the need to collect additional cost-benefit data on the strategies presented.
