This report documents the implementation and evaluation of a one-week competency-based workshop on designing learning systems for coordinators and curriculum development specialists of the West Virginia Department of Education, Division of Instructional Learning Systems. The main objectives of the workshop were: (1) the development of an innovative learning system model; (2) the training of staff to become state-wide change agents toward model implementation; and (3) the subsequent performance of instructional behaviors demonstrated by the workshop learders. The material is presented in the following format: (1) introduction; (2) planning phase; (3) participant characteristics; (4) workshop evaluation; (5) conclusions; (6) recommendations; (7) references; (8) appendices (workshop instructional materials, data collection instruments). Recommendations drawn from the experience were that: (1) the elements of the systems model developed in the workshop should be used by the curriculum leaders as a diffusion strategy; (2) follow-up data on participants' on-the-job behaviors regarding model implementation should be gathered; (3) the use of the competency-based workshops should be considered seriously by other state department of education bureaus and divisions adopting innovations for their staff; and (4) the use of full- or small-group followup sessions for staff members requesting or requiring aid in the implementation of the learning systems model should be considered by the Director of the Division of Instructional Learning Systems.
