This manual is to be used by leaders of RUPS (Research Utilizing Problem Solving) workshops for school or district administrators. The workshop's goal is for administrators to develop problem solving skills by using the RUPS simulation situations in a teamwork setting. Although workshop leaders should be familiar with the RUPS materials and design, they need not be experts in the RUPS process or in teamwork skills. The role of the leader is to act as facilitator for the group as it moves through the learning exercises. The purpose and design of the workshop is described in the introduction; most of the document consists of the participant handouts for the 16 sessions or subsets that make up the workshop. Each subset has an instructional strategy outlined, listing the objectives, sequence, materials, and duration of each exercise. The subsets cover research techniques, data analysis, and planning with research results. (FG)
