REGIONAL TEAM TRAINING: A PROGRAM IN TRANSITION REGIONAL TEAM TRAINERS MEETING CHICAGO, MAY 23, 2005 Glen Bottoms Regional TEAM Training Manager
TRADITIONAL APPROACH • Headquarters (TPM) issues general guidance for annual TEAM training plan • Regions construct plan, calculate cost of the plan and submit to TPM • TPM evaluates regional submissions and submits proposed funding plan to the OMC • Funding plan approved and funds distributed to the regions by TAD
NEW APPROACH FOR FY 2006 • Regions budget for Regional TEAM training costs • Regional TEAM Training costs (off site, one-on-one, etc.) • Travel costs to attend the Regional TEAM Trainers Meeting • TPM issues general guidance and call for Regional TEAM Training Plans • Regions develop training plans consistent with TPM Guidance and Region’s estimated budget and regional budget constraints
NEW APPROACH FOR FY 2006 (Continued) • TPM reviews Regional plans from a quality assurance/quality control perspective • TPM formally approves Regional plans and regions implement plans for the fiscal year • TPM visits selected Regions to observe and evaluate quality of regional training • TPM maintains close contact with Regional TEAM representatives throughout fiscal year
NEW APPROACH FOR FY 2006 (Continued) • Regional TEAM Trainers Meeting to be held annually • Recognizes value of assembling of all players (region/HQ) at a regional site to: • Discuss future plans • Evaluate TEAM training performance & approaches • Discuss improvements/enhancements to TEAM-Web • Discuss concepts/plans for next year • Discuss budget issues
NEW APPROACH FOR FY 2006 (Continued) • These crucial actions that must take place to ensure success: • Regions must realistically budget for meaningful TEAM training activities • Headquarters (TPM) oversight must be visible and effective • TPM and Regions must maintain solid commitment and support to Regional TEAM training
CONCLUSION • Regional TEAM Training is a key program for: • Ensuring grantee competence in using the TEAM-Web system • Enhancing Regional staff competency in TEAM-Web (if you teach it, you gotta know it) • Maintaining core group of TEAM trainers in each region • Employing multiple approaches to TEAM training to reach, engage and effectively train target audiences
