The format follows the outline of the Michigan Conference on Change Agent Training upon which the book is based. Part I of the book describes how to develop training programs in the areas of helping skills and resource utilization. Chapters in this section address the process of change, goals of training, principles of training design, and the framework for training design. Part II discusses alternative models of similar training programs for different groups. This section addresses four types of training programs: development of self-renewal capacity in schools, facilitation of political and structural changes within schools, linkage of schools to other resources, and improvement of the effectiveness of other educational agencies.
