Training, in the article's context, is used to describe programs of preparation and orientation of project personnel and community leaders. Teachers, supervisors, forum leaders, regional and national staffs, and international experts all need training in literacy projects. Some guidelines for a training design include a discussion of six items: (1) Who will be trained? The trainer must consider the educational background, age, sex, place of residence (rural vs. urban), membership in community groups, and previous occupational experience of the trainees. (2) Who are the trainers? Training duties should be assigned to individuals attitudinally inclined toward teaching with the competence to develop into good trainers. (3) What work will they do? A trainer should begin with an exact description of the role the trainee is to fill. (4) Where will they work? The decision may not be the trainer's to make, so knowledge of group interaction is essential. (5) Training time and instructional resources will vary. Both must be used to maximum advantage. (6) Provision for feedback and followup must be organized. (AG)
