(Milestone Of Training: A Trend Set For An Effective Action)

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the model for training of welfare-to-work for facilitators. Focus was on findings of effective training, process and outcomes of training model development, and implementing the model in the classroom. The model could be used with a broad range of learners. The model has proven effective in training facilitators to focus on educational process and behavioral changes as well as information content in program delivery. Generally, experts in informal adult education focus too much on the content of the information and ignore the processes through which adults can be motivated to make life changes. The Parenting and Consumer Education (PACE) program by Extension Educators at The University of Tennessee focused on development of more effective techniques to guide families though the processes that motivate them from welfare to work.
