BEHAVE Facilitator's Network

Summary

Summary 2004

In 2004, we contacted all state facilitators and set a date for the facilitator’s training. It will be held during the first two weeks in October 2005 at Utah State University.

We finished the outline of the BEHAVE Facilitator’s Handbook and will be sending it out for review. We are working on the handbook and the first chapter will soon be ready for review.

The BEHAVE course on CD is about 50% completed. We are collecting information and writing articles about producers using behavioral principles in their operations. We are currently putting together a handbook on training animals for workshop demonstrations.

Objectives/Performance Targets

By the end of the first year ten, fully trained State Coordinators will be in place. They will have materials necessary to sponsor workshops and, because of their participation in their development, will feel comfortable that they meet constituent needs.

By the end of the second year, ten workshops will be completed to train a minimum of ten new facilitators in each state.
