Working with Our Publics. In-Service Education for Cooperative Extension. Module 6. Education for Public Decisions.
House, Verne W.; Young, Ardis Armstrong
This module is the sixth in an inservice education series for extension professionals that consists of seven independent training modules. It provides inservice education in analyzing public problems, anticipating the consequences of extension's involvement in issues, and working effectively in areas of controversy. The following five units provide 18 hours of learning experience: introduction to public policy education; models of public policymaking; facts, myths, values, ethics, and advocacy; roles for public policy educators; and public policy education methods. The module consists of five major parts. The sourcebook includes a concise, readable synopsis of the content, objectives, a selected annotated bibliography (15 items), and a list of 32 references. The leader's guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to conduct the workshop and suggestions for use of the other parts. Preliminary and follow-up activities are described, as well as those to take place during the workshop. The learner's packet includes materials to be used during the workshop. The section of selected readings provide essential ideas and background. The last section lists instructional aids--a poster and videotapes--and provides masters for producing overhead transparencies and two reports on public policy education. (YLB)
