Working with Our Publics. In-Service Education for Cooperative Extension. Module 5. Working with Groups and Organizations.
Wells, Betty L.
This module is the fifth in an inservice education series for extension professionals that consists of seven independent training modules. Its purpose is to provide the conceptual foundation and practical skills needed to work effectively with groups and organizations. Five units cover networking, communicating one-to-one, moving up and down and in and out through groups, making sense of organizations, and facilitating interorganizational relations. The 18-hour module consists of four major parts. The sourcebook includes a concise, readable synopsis of the content, purpose and basic assumptions, a selected annotated bibliography (26 items), and a list of 100 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. Instructions for each of the five units are organized into two parts: a preparation page and a sequential guide for presenting the materials. The learner's packet includes, for each unit, an introduction, self-assessment instrument, worksheets, case studies, and TIP (Theory in Practice) sheets--one- or two-page how-tos. The last section lists instructional aids--a videotape, slides, and a game package--and provides masters for producing overhead transparencies. (YLB)
