Set-up, Logistics & Materials for Training for Trainers & Coaches. Instructions for Setup, Logistics, Materials and Preparation The two day Training for Trainers and Coaches workshops require preparation that is different from Results Based Accountability 101 sessions. This page tells you what you need to know to prepare for this training. Many thanks in advance for your help! Setup and Logistics Materials. Selection of Participants : Training for Trainers and Coaches is an intensive two day session designed for people who have already been through RBA 101 training and are set to serve as in-house experts for the next stages of work. Total participation is limited to no more than 24 people. The training is designed to give individual attention to each participant. FPSI can provide consultation on the process of selecting the right people to attend. Some participation prerequisites are listed under Participant Preparation below.

A pre-training conference call will be needed ahead of the training to discuss what the sponsoring organization hopes to accomplish with this training, and answer any questions about setup and logistics. In particular, it will be necessary to confirm the starting times, ending times and arrangements for lunch, and discuss any issues associated with the venue. Room Setup, Equipment and Food : Much of the preparation is the same as for other FPSI workshops. The room should be set up with tables for four people to sit around. The wall space should accommodate 7 pieces of flipchart paper side by side (for the whole distance exercise). An LCD projector should be set on a rectangular table (NOT and AV cart please) at the front of the room. A large screen (not necessary if there is a large clean wall surface for projection) Participants will work in groups of 4 “learning allies.” Each group will need its own table, flipchart and flipchart stand and set of markers. This should be full size flipcharts with metal stands, not destop flipcharts Masking tape or (better) Blu Tac adhesive putty (for sorting exercise) 50 3×5 cards for use by the small groups Please place a 5th chair at each table for the trainer to listen to the work. No microphones are needed for groups of 25 or less. Name tags with first names in large type. These can be pre-prepared or filled out at the time of the workshop. Pitcher of water and glasses for each group and on the front table, please. It is necessary to have lunch provide both days on site. Box lunches are best as they allow groups to break for lunch at slightly different times (and continue work over lunch where this is useful). It is helpful (maybe even fun) to have modeling clay or stress toys on the tables. It’s very helpful to have chocolate on the tables in the afternoon. Comfortable, casual dress is encouraged. Participant Preparation Participants are asked to answer the questions on the Results Accountability Self Assessment Questionnaire (Click here) Participants are asked to spend at least 1 hour exploring the website: www.raguide.org. Click on the Index of Questions and find something that looks interesting. Review the Index of Tools and review instructions for at least one exercise or technique. Recommend review of the “Leaking Roof” or “Whole Distance” exercises. Participants are encouraged to read Trying Hard Is Not Good Enough (available from www.amazon.com or www.resultsleadership.org), and to bring the book with them to the workshop. The Results Leadership Group offers special discounts for purchases of books for FPSI workshops. Advance reading may also be helpful from the website resultsaccountability.com Publications page Participants may wish to check out the RBA/OBA Facebook page that serves the worldwide practitioner community. Participants are asked to have a time on their schedule in the next 30 to 60 days when they will make a short (minimum 15 minute) presentation about Results Accountability. Data preparation : For the Community-wide Population (e.g. all children, all elders) Turn the Curve exercise: the group will need 4 or more indicator baselines with room on the x and y axis for forecasting (to three years from the present year). An existing state, county or city Quality of Life or Children’s Report card can be used if it provides graphed baseline data for 4 or more indicators. Data preparation : For the Program and Agency Turn the Curve exercise: staff should bring (if possible, but not required) a list of key performance measures used by their organization and real data for at least one lower right quadrant measure.
