Littlejohn (Roy) Associates, Inc., Washington, DC.; Administration for Children, Youth, and Families (DHHS), Washington, DC. Head Start Bureau.
This manual is designed for individuals responsible for training Head Start staff and parents to lead "Exploring Parenting" groups. It focuses on the role of trainers of groups of leaders and effective training methods. Chapter 1, "Approach to Training," describes the approach to training group leaders in a nonthreatening, structured group experience in which participants become familiar with the curriculum and practice conducting activities in order to develop their own leadership style. Chapter 2, "Basic Elements of Training," describes the structure of the workshops, training content, methods used, and characteristics of effective trainers. Chapter 3, "Preparing to Train," details tasks involved in preparing to train group leaders, including organizing the training team; planning the training design; arranging facilities, equipment, and materials; and informing participants. Sample scripts for modeling particular activities and sample 6- and 3-day training schedule outlines are included. Chapter 4, "Providing Training and Technical Assistance," provides tips on methods that respect the maturity, responsibility, and capabilities of trainers and participants. Evaluation forms are included. An appendix details a 6-day training schedule. (KDFB)
