These modules are intended as a guide for developing short-term training workshops for paraprofessional service providers in aging. They are for use by trainers with some basic familiarity with the topic; use of teams of educators and practitioners as trainers is suggested to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. A section on "Training Professionals as Trainers," by Debra David and Susan Golden Feinberg, covers the need for paraprofessional training, project goals, setting, recruitment of participants for a workshop to train trainers, selection criteria, the workshop on training methods and skills, workshop topics, sample agenda, evaluation, products, and future plans. Eight competency-based workshop modules are provided, each suitable for a one-day workshop for paraprofessional service providers in aging. Topics are working with families of older adults, matching older clients and services, reaching the minority elderly, dealing with death, managing behavioral problems of older adults, assessment of older clients, meeting the psychosocial needs of the homebound elderly, and working with the confused elderly. Each modular curriculum guide includes a synopsis, rationale, annotated listings of printed and media resources, a topic outline relating topics to student competencies and suggested presentation methods, assessment questions, and a suggested schedule for a one-day workshop.
