Best
Practices Tool Kit
The
Best Practices Toolkit will help state agencies and their partners
design and implement effective programs and assure that existing
efforts are as effective as they can be. Produced in cooperation
with experts in the fields of research and education, the Best
Practices Toolkit provides everything needed for program planning,
including staff considerations, implementation and evaluation. The
Best Practices Tookit includes: Best Practices Workbook, Trainer's
Guide, Fact Sheets and Audio-Visual Presentations.
Best Practices Workbook
The "bible" of Recruitment and Retention (R&R)
Best Practices, this binder contains all the research-based Best
Practices and recommendations for programs and efforts that work.
It is an essential tool to help develop effective programs and/or
evaluate existing ones and translates technical concepts into simple,
interactive, reusable guidelines that can be implemented in any
situation. The workbook addresses everything from building a new
program from scratch to helping an ongoing program identify and
tackle difficult issues using real-world examples and interactive,
problem-based learning models. The Best Practices Woorkbook is
designed and presented in a user-friendly modular format that allows
practitioners to easily apply it to their current programs.
Trainer's
Guide
Best
Practices are only useful if staff and cooperators know about them
and know how to use them. This guide contains everything staff
needs to conduct half-day to two-day training workshops. This delivery
mechanism will keep the Workbook and other tools functional -- otherwise
they might find a permanent spot on a dusty shelf. This Guide is
the "cookbook" that walks end users through the Best
Practices Workbook. The "train-the-trainer" format
will help staff deliver Best Practices throughout their departments
and partner organizations, providing maximum reach to end users
in their state.
Fact Sheets
This
series of "one-pagers" describe the most critical
Best Practices concepts. They can be used as teasers and information
sheets, encouraging new audiences to get the Workbook and learn
more. This format helps address single Best Practices as needed,
depending on the situation.
