This program is an effort of the David Douglas School District (Oregon) to provide specific training experiences for classified employees who assist with instruction. The program is intended to ease the training burden on teachers, provide district wide continuity of training experiences, and communicate the importance of the assistant's job responsibilities. Six phases compose the program: (1) needs assessment; (2) planning; (3) training; (4) evaluation; (5) recognition; and (6) future plans. This program is a low-cost, but effective training experience.
