Training of Trainer (TOT) Course DC95-03 January 17, 1995 TO ALL STATE IV-D DIRECTORS Re: Training of Trainer (TOT) Course Dear Colleague: I am pleased to announce that the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement's (OCSE) National Training Center is planning to conduct a delivery of the Training of Trainers (TOT) course. The course will be conducted at the Ramada Inn Old Town in Alexandria, Virginia on March 27 - March 31, 1995. The TOT course is built around the 5-D Training Process, a systematic approach for assessing training needs and for designing, developing, delivering, and evaluating training. Improvements to the course include changes made in the topic areas used to illustrate the 5-D Process. These include Paternity Establishment as contained in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. The 5-D Process can be applied to adapt generic prepackaged training to child support enforcement (CSE) specific needs; to adapt CSE packages developed at the Federal level to meet needs specific to State programs or local offices; and to design customized in-house training. TOT training is designed for persons who are responsible for all or most of the following activities: 183 conducting training needs assessments and synthesizing the information for purposes of designed course specifications; 183 setting instructional goals and objectives; 183 selecting instructional strategies and methods; 183 designing and producing specific instructional activities and materials; 183 conducting multiple course deliveries; and 183 evaluating training. Page 2 - Dear Colleague The intent is to help State CSE agencies improve their training capabilities in accordance with individual needs. Additional benefits can accrue as a result of TOT training. For example, by sharing training capabilities across local agencies, organizations throughout the CSE Program can increase their know-how to design effective job-oriented training which can measurably improve employee performance. Final arrangements for this delivery will be made once we know the number of staff who plan to attend. The intensive nature of the TOT curriculum is such that we must limit enrollment to no more than 25 participants. Acceptance, as in the past, will be on a "first-come, first served" basis, so I urge you to review your needs and respond as quickly as possible. A Participant Registration Profile and agenda are enclosed for your convenience. Please remind staff who plan to attend the training to complete the form and return it to Roy Nix at the National Training Center no later than March 3, 1995. He will provide each registered participant with more information (e.g., location of hotel, etc.). While there is no charge for this course, travel and related expenses must be borne by participants' CSE agencies. These expenses, of course, are eligible for Federal financial participation at the regular 66 percent matching rate. For further information about TOT or other National Training Center activities, please call Roy Nix at (202) 401-9391 or write to: OCSE, National Training Center, 370 L'Enfant Promenade SW, 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20047.
