Guidance for Presenters:
The variations
in state resources and delivery systems requires that
each session include
Ř
guiding principles
related to the topic,
Ř
models and
handouts that serve as references, and
Ř
time (at
least 30 minutes) at the end of each session for the state
directors and staff to consider
o
How
congruent are these principles with what we are doing
now in the state?
o
How
complex an operation will it take to integrate them into our current system?
o
What kind
of workgroup or taskforce would I need to
set up to plan pilot testing and integrating them into our system?
o
What are
the driving forces that would support such an
initiative?
o
What are
the restraining forces that would hinder such
an initiative?
o
How do I
reinforce the driving forces?
o
How do I
overcome the restraining forces?
o
Where
would I pilot test it?
o
What
resources would I need to support pilot testing?
o
What
resources would I need to Go to Scale
§
