Dissemination and Training: Moving toward State Impact.
Talbert, Marcia
This paper discusses how developmental programs in Georgia obtain and maintain their status as "Training Center." The establishment in Houston County, Georgia of a "Training Center," an innovative school outreach program that disseminates an early intervention program for high-risk 6-year olds, exemplifies how outreach services are provided that involve a four-step approach: awareness, training, follow-up and evaluation. The awareness phase informs the center's publics of what is being done. Training informs the administrators, teachers, and paraprofessionals of the center's policies, procedures, and purposes. The follow-up phase of services provides technical assistance in the form of visits by Training Center staff who ensure that adopting systems maintain the integrity of the disseminated program. Evaluation reviews the overall effectiveness of center programs. Centers that employ this approach will facilitate state recognition and funding. (JAM)
