SCRIPTs for Successful Change. Final Report of the SCRIPT (Supporting Change & Reform in Interprofessional Preservice Training) Project.
Winton, Pamela J.; Catlett, Camille
This final report summarizes the activities of a federally funded project designed to prepare higher education faculty to serve as leaders in providing and promoting quality interprofessional preservice instruction in their states. SCRIPT enhanced and replicated a validated model that had previously been developed, implemented and evaluated in 20 states. The model used a systems change approach, designed to make a long lasting and meaningful impact on personnel preparation programs. SCRIPT prepared teams of higher education faculty, family members, practitioners and agency representatives from eight states to serve as leaders in providing early childhood (0-9) intervention training in their states. A total of 254 state-level early childhood intervention leaders and 109 interdisciplinary team members from Missouri, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Carolina, and North Dakota participated directly in SCRIPT activities. Documented benefits of participation included: (1) statistically significant increases in faculty knowledge and skills in early intervention content and training strategies; (2) greater faculty commitment to participating in community-based inservice and technical assistance activities; (3) higher quality preservice and inservice training; and (4) increased linkages among state agencies, institutions of higher education, and consumers for personnel preparation at the state level. This report describes the project's training model, activities and participants, and discusses its goals and objectives, conceptual framework, dissemination activities, challenges, evaluation results, and impact. An appendix includes preservice and inservice personnel preparation quality indicators. (Contains 37 references.) (SG)
