Workshops
|
The Fiscal Policy Studies Institute is offering two workshops
conducted by Mark Friedman
Two Day Training
for Trainers and Coaches
(Participation limited to 20)
Next dates
pending
This is an intensive two full day training session on
how to teach the concepts of results accountability and coach its
implementation. Participants will learn how to conduct their own training
sessions on the concepts of Results Accountability, how to
conduct the most important training exercises, and how to help organizations and
their leaders put these practices into operation. Because of the limited size of
each class, the sessions provide lots of time for questions, answers and
personal attention. (Note: participants in these sessions must have
completed RBA 101 or viewed the full workshop video tape available from the Foundation
Consortium 916-646-3646 or www.foundationconsortium.org.)
Workshop
times: Day 1: 8:30 AM to
4:00 PM Day 2: 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM

This is the widely-known basic workshop on the concepts and application of
the FPSI framework to cross-community quality of life improvement and the
management of programs, agencies, and service systems. In the morning session,
participants will get a full presentation of the framework, including:
·
How
to establish results and indicators of well-being for children, families, and
communities.
· How to use results to drive decision making and budgeting.
· How to identify performance measures for programs, agencies,
and service systems.
· How to use performance measures to improve performance, and
· How program accountability links to cross community
efforts.
In the afternoon, participants will apply these concepts to real work in a
“Turn the Curve” exercise. Participants will receive the latest version of
the Results Accountability Workbook and other updated materials.
