  6. The Pilot

  7. Our approach Use a team approach to assess learning needs and TOL support Offer learning interventions to address learning needs and TOL issues Evaluate knowledge and skill improvement and increase in TOL support BUT—still individualized to meet each county where they are

  8. Assessment • What and how data was collected varied by county • Surveys • Key informant interviews • Focus Groups • Any combination • Learning needs– used competencies, and questions to identify worker needs • TOL support– standardized questions modified from ….. Survey or CPS and follow up discussion • Triangulate data from all sources

  9. Learning Plan • Use assessment to guide learning interventions • Allow exec/agency to prioritize • Offer menu of possible interventions and select based on: • Agency capacity • RTC capacity • Address state of Transfer Climate & agency commitment to move climate • Address how to evaluate plan
