Trainer's Guide
THIS MODULE IS DESIGNED for maximum flexibility in delivery. The module is addressed to the trainee-"you." It can therefore be self-administered by a trainee who is in contact with a trainer or instructor by correspondence or teleconference. It can be used as the basis for either small group or large group face-to-face delivery. Each passage and each part of each passage begins and ends on its own page. Writing space for trainee response is included in the curriculum format. There are no additional handouts, work sheets, or exams. Any passage or part can be removed, copied, and used as a work sheet or as the seed of large group, small group, or dyad discussion. Any passage or part can be copied and sent to remote locations as homework, an assignment, an exercise, or an exam.

Because of the diversity in delivery modes and in local agencies, no attempt has been made to require learning activities that involve group interactions. But since no one learns interpersonal competencies without interpersonal interactions, it is highly desirable for the local training supervisor (perhaps in collaboration with a college or university colleague) to design role-plays, simulations, instructional dramas, panel discussions, and other kinds of interaction exercises. Your experience in training and your sense of local needs and conditions should allow you to recognize the areas in this module that are suitable for these kinds of exercises.

There is no effectiveness without flexibility. Flexibility requires that trainers have choices about the scope and sequence of content. There is nothing to stop a trainer from perusing the content and deciding to reorder the passages.

The present order is planned to be the most effective for the purposes of the first, introductory module. But we learn as we go; it may turn out that someone else's order is more effective.

There is no substitute for a trainer becoming intimately familiar with the curriculum. As you become familiar with this module, certain things will appear.
