This document aims to provide grantees and contractors with protocols for training, technical assistance, and evaluation that represent basic tenets and standards for best practices in these areas.
Abstract
The protocols present guidelines, forms, and models that aim to ensure consistency and quality in the provision of training and technical assistance, as well as in the evaluation of the impact and outcomes of program initiatives. The protocols resulted from a collaborative effort involving OJJDP grantees and contractors, OJJDP staff, the OJJDP National Center for Training and Technical Assistance, and the Juvenile Justice Trainers Association. The guidelines rest on recommendations from grantees and contractors, materials provided by grantees and contractors of protocols currently used, and from professional sources noted in the bibliography. The manual also includes reproductions of documents currently in use by various organizations. Figures, forms, checklists, appended examples, and 19 references
