ABSTRACT A project wasconducted at the University of Illinois (l) to test and refine the components of the dissemination system developed for program improvement efforts in the state; and 12) to provide technical assistance to 'funding agency staff, project staffs, and persons/networks/agencies that facilitate access to a product in the dissemination process. During the year-long project,-five majOr activities were conducted.'FIrsl, dissemination activities were. 'planned for two products ("A Word Processing Guide" developed in West Virginia; and "Job Creation" curricultm materials developed in Illinois); thus testing the components of the dissemination system deeloped for program improvement. Second, inservice education activities were conducted for persons/networks/agencies which facilitate access to a product in order to enhance awareness, understanding, and participation in the dissemination process. This activity included a conferenge whichiis summarized in the'report. For the third activity, collaboration efforts were made with the Illinois DepantMent of Adult, Vocational,-andiTtchnical EducatioD in articulation of vocational education dissemination efforts' within the state. Fourth, communication was continuedwith disseninaion specialists nationwide'to glean helpful information,4, insights', sand ideas from others' ongoing efforts to aid development of the Illinois dissemination system. Fianlly, 400 copies of a "dissemination manual"
focusing on theecomponknts of ,,the disseMinatiOn system were - developed, printed, and disseminated to enhance coordination and collaboration for effective dissemination. Recommendations for implementing the dissemination system were Made..(Author/KC) - 4

iv ACCOMPLI,SHMENT ANO MAJOR AOTIVITIES
Procedure 1:
,:Pan dissemination for two products selected by the Research and
'Development Section forwidespread dissemiination, thus testing the com- ponentt of the dissemination systeM developed for program improvement.
Diisemination efforts were planned for two products selected by the 'Research and Development Section. These efforts Were used to test
. , the components of the systematicAodel: conceptual, personnel, ,4 managerial, and administeative. For details of the systematic model see;
Russell, t.B.; Treichel, J.; Shenassa, and Sanders, C.S., DiseminationlofOCAtional Education Program Improvement Products A Systematic Model.',University of Illinois, ?Department of Vocational and Technical Education, Office of Vocational Education Research, Champaign, 1981: ft

The two products%selected by the Research and Development Section for widespread dissemination were (1) a Word PrdeeSsing Guide developed in West (2). Job Creation .curriculum materials deyeloped Virgin'ia,'and
, in 1llingis. Dissemination Plans for-thb two products Were developed by the Disemi-nation PlAnning Committee which was appointed by John
Washburn4alaser, and' Peter Seidman, Contract Administrator, of the
' Res.earchAndsDevelopment Section. Copies of the Dissemination Pips which.were-6ased.on the individualized dissemination planning model are
. , inclUded fn.E4hibit sy using this planning 'model, portions of the four components of the systematic model of dissemination were tested: tl) the administrative component through Appointment of the . 6
r (
a
Dissemiriation Planning Committee, 2*) the conceptual component through,
use of the four level definition of dissemination ancrthe concept of
continual planning, conducting and assessing, (3) the managerialcompg-
vent by using the individualiied dissemfhation planning model, and (4)
the personnel component by having various individuals (fUnders,'developers '7 linkers and users) involved 'in plannitog, conducting,_iards, assessingthe
identified products.
Because dissemination plans for both products contained workshops and I conference presentations, ,review formswere developed to gather data frbm
those attending. Copies of both forms are included in Exhibit A. The
workshop/presentationyview forms were used to Collect names andaddresles
. . of product recipients: Only those attendees who agreed to.be part of a'
follow-up study (3 months after receiving the product to determine product
4 usage, received a complimentary copy of the material.Exhibit A contains
the data gathered,from the presentation/workshop review.
A follow-up survey form and cover letter were developed for the 4 Word Processing Guide and to Job Creation curriculum. Both forms are
included in Exhibit A. The Word Processing Follow-up was sent to 171
. product recipients on May 11, 1982 with a return date ofno later th'an
June 15, 1982. Data from this follow-up (Exhibit A) were compiled for
the 87 forms returned by June 1, 1982, for inclusion in this report. 'A
similar foltow-up survey forM and cover letterwere developed for the
Job Creation curriculum (see Exhibit A) with the recommendation that
follow-up of this product's usage be completed during September, 1982. .
Planning and follow -up -forms were developed foruse in this pro .ass..
Thesd included a (1) Disseminatiop. Planning Matrix used for the Word , L.

. review, and (3) Word Processing Guide follow-up. These materials were
developed to be adopted /adapted for use with other k & D program ;ed
improvement products.
,Procedure 2:
Conduct inservice for persons/networkt/agencies'which facilitate 4F 'access fp a prodaqin order to enhance awareness, understanding, and
participation in the dissemination process.
To enhance'awareness,-understanding,-and participation in the dissemf-
nation process, inservice2for these groups was provided by: (1) planning!
and conducting _two one and one -half day conferences titled, "The ABC,'s of
Resource. Utilization (Attaining Better Coordiriationr, (2) condqcting a
survey to gather data related to staff developMent needs, and (3)-
ting an article focusing upon roles, responsi fifties and, benefits
of diSseminators. The first "ABC's of Resource tilization",ponference
was held in the Chicago area at the Caravelle 'Motor Inn, Rosemont,
Illinois on May 3 and 4, and the second conference was held on.May 5 And
.6 in Springfield-at Sangamon State University.
Details regarding the planning of these two activities can be found
in t$t Progress Reports for" Vocational Education progrp Improveme t
Dissemination:4PhaSe III," submitted to the Research and Development
Sectiaa,;_Department of Adilt, Vocational and Technical Education, on
-September 0, 1981, December 31, 19f1 and March 30, 4982. The "Conference
Summary" which foiloWs the discussion p-the activities related to Procedure
2 as well as Exhibit B of thi, report, tains particulars of *both
cconferences.ferences. /'
The second activity for Procedure 2, "Dissemination Survey and
0pinionflaire on Vocational and Technical Education," was develOpe0 to r
gather data related to staff development needs and change orientation of
the groups (funders, developers, linkers and users) invotved in disseli- .' nation. The survey was sentfto 300 people on March 22, 1982. The sample
consisted'of 50 vocationac directors, 50 secondary principals, 50 project
directors, 50 counselors, and 100 linkers; A reminder postcard was seht
on April9 to 174 individuals, and remi'hder letter was sentl with a
second instrument to 123 people who had not responded as of May 24, 1982.
s Oopies of the instrument, cover letter, reminder postcard and second
reminder letter are included in Exhibit C. As of June 9, 74 percent of
the surveys had been returned. The data are being compiled for analysis
at this writing.
The ,third activity'aimed at providing inservice to the groups in-
volved in dissemination consisted ofthedevelopment of an article to be
submitted for publication`in the Illinois Vocational Education Journal
InpUt for the article was obtained from Catherine Batsch (developer),
Jim Swanson (user) and Rebecca.Douglass' (linker). Information regarding
funding agency wasrequestedfrom John Washburn (Manager, Research and
Development). However, due to the uncertainty of the future of the Illinois
4Vocational Education Journal the article was not full, developed. The
possibility of submitting the article to other journals is being explored.
ABC's OF RESOURCE UTILIZATION (ATTAINING BETTER COORDINATION)
COnferuce Summary
T\two "ABC's of Reour e Utilization "(Attaining Better-Coordination)"
conferences were designed to enhance communication, cooperation, and col-
laboration among the participants who were members of one or more existing
Illinois resource systems. The goals of the'conferences, established as
4 a a
'

. .
a result of a needs assessment condutted by the conference planning ...
committee; were: ( - To increase participantacCesS' to Illinois human andmaterial resource systems and their services fit' increase partiCipant knowledg .of skills particular to the . role of a "linker" in dissemina on efforts / - To increase. the participant linkero skills in resource utilization, communication, nd collaboratign
- To provide participants an opportunity toshare ideas, materials, and services
- To enable participants to develop specific action plans for
future-coordination activities. . 4 These goals were accomplished through six major conference
.presentations /activities. The first r4ajor,activity consisted of a
Resource Awareness session in which representatives of participating
agencies presented information regardtng their agencies' organization,
services, and_ -accessing procedures. This activity Was conducted in
carouse as'on es represented-at the Chic-ago area
conference anal twenty-two at the SOingfield conference.' Each preserPter
provided brief presentations to three different groups-.
Communication, one of thethreellnker"skills identified through'
the needs assessment, wasaddr4fed during-the second majar.actiyity.
Three concurrent sessions focusing on communication were conduCted:
(1) ,Forms of Communication, (2) Giving 4nd Receiving Feedback, and. (3)
Resolving Conflict. Each was presented twice, providing the participants 15- 4n opportunity to.atfend.two of the three sessions.
ResourceUiilization,Anothec.identified "linker" skill, was addressed
as the third activity in the same fashion ascommunication with the three
concurrent sessions being; -04'CUtting Through Red Tape, (2) Role and (, FunCtion as a Change 'Agent, and (3) Adoption/Adaptation. Again,'Ahe
participants were given an opportunity to attend two of the three.sessions. e N. .Cooperation/Collaboration, identified as the,third,needed4linkerP skill,
was presented in- lecture fashion, followpd by amotivational presentation c . g( on "Improved Vocational Education Through a Pkanned Changeeocess". These .NN ---- . t two presentations led into the sixth and final major activitythat being
development of Individual' Action Plans. During this session the_participants -
were asked to make a commitment td themselves and others asto how and When
they would use the knowledge pd'skills gainedby attending the conferences.

May 5 and, 6. Both conferencesi convened at.,8:3(1 the morning of the first
dayland concluded at 12:00 non the second day with approximately eleven f and one-half actual contact hours.
. . - As an example .of Attaining Better Coordination among dgencies, the
conferences wer-W sponsored'm a joint effort of several,groups. The
Chicago area conference was sponSored by the following four groups:
Career'Guidance Center, kegio VII - Illinois Resource and Dissemination Network - Illinois Vocational Curriculum Center - Vocational Education Progfam-Improvement Dissemination Pro ect

Because the conferences were jointly'sponsored, several planning
-meetings were held with the first occurring with Rebecca Douglass of
the Illinois Vocational Curriculum Center in...0stober, 1981-, during. which
, . , 1 the possibility of hAting two conferences instead of one, as, called .for . J

. . Collaborate with the Department of,Aglult, Vocatilel and Technical
Education in articulatiin of vocational education dissemination efforts
within the State of Illinois.
1 8 a Collaboration with the Department ofeAdult,,VoCational and
(!echnicelEducation occurred through,:.(1) review and analysi
.dissemination planning outlines, (2) participation as amember** the
4p 46 Dissemination Planning Committee, (3),development.of Procedures for
Assuring Quality, and QualityAssurance RatingForm,.and (4) development
of an R & D Product Distribution follow-up.
The Dissemination Planning Outlines and Proposal Abstracts were
obtained from the(continUation proposals submitted to the ResArch and
Development SeCtion for FY 192 funding. This infdrmation was analyzed
to determine if statements met the conditions outlined in the REP 10.
Guidelines. Exhibit E contains the report of this activity, "Review
and Analysis of Dissemination Planning in FY 1982 Continuation Proposals
for_Program ;Improvement Efforts."
S Carl Sanders, Principal Investigator for the project, served as an
(ad hoc member of the Dissemination Committee appointed by John Washburn
and Peter Seidman. As a member -of that committee she assisted with the
development of dissemination plans for the primary products'of projects:
(1) LAPS, (2) Bank Tellee, (3)' Solar Energy and (4) Womens' Pre-
, PIPPrenticeship. To facilitate the planning efforts, a Planning Matrix
was developed (see Exhibit D.) .
ConceA about the development of "quality" products ledto the
development. of procedures for assuring quality of primary products. and. , .. a luality Assurance Rating Form." Both were reviewed by members of
the Dissemination Manual for Enhancing Program Improvement. The "Pro-
ceduresCfor Assuring Quality of Primary Products" and "PrimaryProduct
Quality Asurance Rating Form".are included in Exhibit D.
's, To determine use of products Sold by the Curriculum Publications /
9 i2 Clearinghouse, a form was developed to Collect data from product
recipients three months after,product delivery. The form (see Exhibit D)
was designed to be sent from the Curriculum Publications Clearinghouse
and4returned to the satioaddress.
Procedure 4: - Continue Communication with dissemination specialists nationwide to
'glean helpful information, insights, and ideas from other on going efforts `. to aid development of the Illinois dissemination-system.
Communication with dissemination specialists was continued by
participating in conferences, conducting Presentations, and distributing k
proje t products. Conferenfe participation in.cludeaf (11. NNCCVTE Annual

(2) When to PlerC,-Conduct and Assess, The To portion outlines 'six
stepi that can be used by. users, linkers., developers and funders when
formulating dissemination plans. The 'When To" portion addresses the
robosal phase, funded ph*asi and post-funding phase. The "Human Resource"
section provides a "Quick Reference" for 40 national an'd state
networks, followed by abstracts and contact lists for each network. The

Copies of the Dissemination Manual for Enhancing, Program Improvement
will be sent to participants in the "ABC 's of Resource Utilization"
conferences as well as other individuals }evolved irtdissemination.
-MAJOR 'ACTIVITIES AND.EVENTS A. The major project activities consisted of: (1) planning, organizing,
a and conducting the two "ABC's of Resoutce Utilization" conferences, and $ {2) development of the,Dissemination Manual for Enhancing Program
Improvement.' These two efforts,, though separate, Were both designed to
enhance coordination and collaboration among the groups involved in dis-
semination and to facilitate the effective and efficieht dissemination
of funded program improvementeffo 7rts. The Manual, whendistributed to
conference partidipants, willhelp rejUvenate the collaborative arrange-
ments initiated during the conferences and assist in promoting systematic .
dissemination of program improvement products.
PROBLEMS
Two departures from the original projdct plan occurred. The original'
ure 2 of *the project plaid read ;'Conduct inservice sessions'for (a)
funding agency staff, (b) project staffs, and (c) persons/networks/agencies
who facilitate access to an outcome to enhance awa'reness, understanding,
and participation, in the dissemination process. Inservice for persons/
networks/agencies who facilitate access to an outcome occurred- hrough
means of the "ABC's of ResourceUtilization" conferences. Inservice of
funding agency staff and project staffs did not occur. A meeting washerd
. 0
12 1 et with Dhn Washburn and Peter Seidman concerning the proposed inservice of these two groups. It was decided to (1) postpone the inssr'vicefon funding agency staff until a later date, and (2) to provide inservice to project staffs of the FY 1983 funded prdjects during an RDS meeting planned for July or August:
Due to th\l!ncertainty of the future of the Illinois Vocational
Education Journal the proposed article ...focusing on the benefits of dis- semination was not fulqy develop6d, thus the second departure from
Procedure 2. However, the project staff is presently searching for other suitable journals to which the article may be submitted.
- p STATEMENT OF IMPACT
The dissemination systbm developed for the State of Illinois will promote and facilitate effective and efficient dissemination of funded program improvement proqcts.
Intended impact will,be'enhanced through dissemination of the
Dissemination Manual for Enhancing Program Improvement to cups
involved: funders, developers,'link , and users. Ins vice activities for funding agency staffs and proje staffs'will not Onl,enhance aware- ness and understanding of the dissemination process but encourage pareici- pation and promote cooperation and collaboration between and among the groups involved.
RECOMMENDAT=IONS:
To fully implement the dissemination system it is recommended that:
1. Someone 4denttfied by the- Manager of the Research and Development
Section.to as ume the responsibility for fully implementing the
dissemination system and coordinating dissemination efforts of the- k
My. 1
Research and Development Section, the Curriculum(Publications
Clearinghouse, and the, Illinois Vocational Curriculum Center.
2. Funding agency staff and project staff be provided the technjcal
assistance needed to carry out their roles and resptnsibilities as
actors in the djssemination 13Tocess. I
3. `users or program improvement products be ,given more responsibility
in identifying, developing and testing program imiTrovement products.
4. Collaborative effOrts,started between and amongeiiucational networks
within the-State of Illinoil be supported and further collaborative
efforts fostered. sa t 5. 'Future proposals for funding be evaluated on the quality and extent
of dissemination planning as outlined in companion project
publications.

Computers in Vocatio/ nal Education ....--'` 1. I regi'd the use of computers in the vocational education te classeoomeas a fad which will go away as quickly as it came. 1 2 3 4 5 6 4 2. StepS should soon be taken to assure the use of computers in every vocational educa,tion program in the State. li. 2 3 4? 5 6 5 3. Computers will help change the -role of the vocational teacher to diagnosis and prescription of the individual, rather than playing the role of "the fountain of knowledge." 1 2 3 4 5 6' 6 4, I'm convinced that the technical language and mystique surrounding computers is too great for vocational- teachers ' to ol'ercome. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 5. Vocational students will view classroom computers as gadgets for play rather then as tools for learning. ' 1 2 3 4 5 6 _6. I think a failure to incorporate the use of computers in teaching decision-ma ng in vocational education class- rooms is to short-ch nge ousgraduates. 1 2 3 , 6 9 Special Needs Students . ...-- 7. Schools can't do much to . . ;develop positive attitudes toward .4 work. 1 2 3 10 8. I believe it is useless tltry to help students who are %II' predestined to failure. 1 2 3 ilk 5 6 9. Vocational education can'do much to improve the oppor- tunities of special needs students. 1 2 3 4 5 6 12 -wan* 10. We now have more vocational programs than we need for special needs students. , 1 2 3 4 5 6 13, 11, Aca tiona I education can do little to alleviate the problems of special needs students. '1 2 3 4 5 6 14 12. it is not practical for vocational education to try to meet the needs of special needs students. 1 2 3 4 5 6 15 Early Occupational Eduction 13. Students can benefit little from occupational education in the elementary grades. t 2 3 4. 5 6 14. I think there's no harm in starting ckcupational preparation for young school children. 1 2 3 4 17 ..-, 15. Early occupational education may stimulate a better attillide 4 toward school work in later years. 1 2 -3 4 5 6 18- 16. Vocational teachers can make a real contribution to occupa- tional educdtion at the elementary level. 1 2 j 4 5 6 19 There is no need rrl the elementary curriculum for the addition of occupational education. 1 2 3 4 5 6 20 ' 102, 0. 1 (3 Response / 4 Statement 1:51.44 DW DL AL AW AVM Cooperative Education 18. Ifavor cooperative education because it provides a smooth transition from school to work. 1 2 3 4 5 6 71 19. object to cooperative education because it creates,more problems than it solves. 1 2 3 4 i * 6 22 20.The mist effective teaching occurs in a cooperative education program. 2 1 '3 4 5 6 23 k___,J..-- - -) Individijaltzed Instruction and Behavioral Objectives 21. I find that individualized instruction using behavioral objectives is valuable in helping the student succeed. 1 2 3 4 5 6 24 22. Ibelieve it is more important to work with the entire class than to spend a lot of time with individuals. s- 1 2 3 6 25 23. Iaccept the idea that individUalized,ipstruction using behavioral objectives allows studentslo.experienbe success more often. 1 2 r 4 '5 6 26 24.I .think the use ofrbehavioral objectives with individualized learning experiences would help students develop to their potential. 1 2 3 4 5 6 27 O Adult Vocational Education` . 25. I would urge adults to take vocational courses regularly to keep up to date. .3 1 2 5 6 28 4 26. I argue thayncreased emphasis on adult vocational programs would eventually reduce inner-city employment. 1 2 3 4 5 6 29 27.I regularlyfinvestigate the new skills and occupations in the labor market. 1 2 3 4 5 6 30 Differentiated Team Teaching 28.Teaching teams allow a teacher to spend more time develop- ing creativity. responsibility.. and habits of Inquiry in students. 1 2 3 4 5 6 31 29._Teachers should con cclasses without assistance and - . discourage others from helping. 1 2 3 4 6 32 30. I would greatly dislike being a member of a dif- ferentiated teaching team. 2 3 4 S b1 33 31. uphold the differentiated team teaching concept as permitting a natural exchange of Ideas. 1 , 3 4 5 6 34 32.I do not work welt e nough with others to make differentiated team teaching work' 1 2 3 4 5 6 _35 33. convinced thalifferentiated.team teaching is a waste of time. 1 2 3 4 ' 5 6 36 34. Use of differentiated team teachrrig would allow a more varied content in lessons. 1 2- 3 4 5 6 37 35.I say thatdifferentialdteam teaching Is asking too much ofestaiIishedteachers. 1 2 3 4 5 6 38 Core Vocational Curriculum 36.I highly recommend a core vocational criculum to high` school students, regardless of their caer objectives. 1 2 '3 4 5 6 39 ,37.1 regard the core vocational curriculum as a university professor's impractical idea. 2 3 4 5 6 40 38. A core vocational curriculum could foster better cooperation and understanding In the school. 1 2 3 4 5 6 41 ... 39. I encourage development of a core curriculum as a fresh apprbach to old probl ms. 1 o 2 3 4 5 6 42 . - 40.Students would waste their time in a core vocational curriculum. 1 2 3 4 5 6 43 41.

During phise two of the Dissemination Project, a systematic model a- for the dissemination of program improvement efforts in Illinois was developed and project staff assistediincoord#nationand communication efforts among Funding agency staff, prbject staff, personsinetwork9k Arc agencies who f ilitate access to project outcomes, and users of program improvement outcomes. These efforts were aimed at making these'populations , % snore aware of the importance ofdisseminatioq .and of how dissemination aids in increasing project/program impact. . The 1979-1980 editions of the Illinois State Board of Ed on's Request for Program Improvement Proposals in Vpcational Edu ation combined 4 dissemination and impact in one subsection. It Was determined by both the Disgemination and Impact Projects' staffs that the two components needed to be addressed separately in funding proposals. Suggestions were made to the Illinois Research Coordinating Unit's staff regarding the content of a. proposal subsection on dissemiration. These sugAstions included- . incorporating a description of the dissemination definition and dissemi- . natton characteristics in the guidelines for.proposal writing and re-. A quiring a dissemination planning outline fon all proposals. . The suggested outline for dissemination planning included: (1) Name of the project, Al (2) Dissemination goal(s).of overall project, (3) Dissemination goal of current funding phase, 0 -'-.

Did proposal writers identify who or what agency will be responsible fOr disseminating the projdct output(s)?utput(s)? General Review Procedures 1.44,e Dissemination Project staff reviewed sixty of the seventy-one project proposals funded for fiscal year 1982 by the Illinois State Board of Education, Department of Adult, Vocational and Technical Education, Research and Development Section. The list of proposals reviewed is included in Appendix A-1. It was the staff's, intent to review sixty-nine of the proposals funded. To be excluded from the review were the two projects, Assessing the Impact of Vocational Education Research and Development on Vocational E-6 1 112 0 Education Programs and Vocational Education Program Dissemination, Phase III, with which its s'aff is involved. During the data collection period nine proposals receiving funding for fiscal year 1982 were not available for review. A list of the nine proposals not included in this reviewcan be found in Appendix A-2. , ' During.data collection, proposll abstracts and subsections of Section 5 - Narrative Description of the Project were copied from the sixty project proposals available for review. The subsections of Section 5 copied for more thorough review included! Subsection 5.1, Introduction; Subsection 5.5, Dissemination Planning Outline; Subection 5.6, Statement of and Subse tion 5.7, Time /Sequence Chart. These subsections- were not in all cases labeled precisely according-to the guidelines nor did all ofthe proposals reviewed contain all the subsections identified to be photocopied. It should therefore be noted'that not all of the subsections could be copied or reviewed for all project proposals. Specific Review Procedures Question 1: , To determine if proposal writers followed the guidelines for preparing their fiscal year 1982 continuation proposals, project proposal's were reviewed to determine if they containeda dissemination planning outline. If a proposal did not contain a dis*semination planning outline, it was reviewed to determine if disseminationwas addressed using a format different from that specified in Guideline's and Specifications for Preparing FY '82 Continuation Proposals, or if reasons were stated for not including a subsection on disseminatiqp. 4 Proposals which did not contain a subsection on dissemination,(i.e. dissemination planning outline on other format- description of dissemi- nation plans) were reviewed further to determine if they had productsor bw other outputS to be disseminated. This additional review provided a basis far determining if these oject proposals should, have contained a sub- section on dissemination. Question 2: To determine if proposal Writers followed the guidelines re for identifying the subsection on dissemination correctly, each proposal's subsectionon dissemination where present, was reviewed to see how it was labeled. Qpestion 3: Td determine if the proposal writers followed"the guide- lines by including a dissemination goal(s) for the funding per4od in their subsection on dissemination, the reviewers read each proposal's dissemi- nation subsection to discover if a dissemination goal was present. The criteria used for identifying goal statements was that appearing in Dissemination of Vocational Education Program Improvement Products:A Systematic,Model. It states that the dissemination goal relates to the level of dissemination (awareness, understanding, decision, implementation) A desired as a result of the dissemination activities planned. . Using the above def 7iition when reviewing the subsection on dissemi- nation, the dissemination staff looked for statements which Ticated results of ;culmination of activities in instances where the dissemi- nation goal(s) was not labeled as such. In instances Where the proposal writers identified their_dissemin'ation goal(s) the definition was used to determine if the statement labeled as a goal was in fact a goal. e The nature of this review limited the pr9posals reviewed to these thirty-nine which contained a subsection on di semination. , Question 4.1: The Guidelines and Specifications for Preparing FY '82 Continuation Proposals require proposal,writers to indicate the outcomes 0 ..... (outputs) to be disseminated by their project during the. funding period. E-8 113 C Primary or final outputs refers to the main outputs of program improvement * *- efforts. Supportive outputs refers to those.project outputs which con- tribute to the development and/or dissemination of the primary or final, 7 . outputs, e.g. field test version of a curriculum product, public relations materials etc. The dissemination project'has identified five categories (general information, reports, supplementary or resource aids, educational prOducts and intangible educational innovations) into which program im- provement outputs can be classified. Using the categories and subclassifications for program improvement. outRts identified by the dissemination project staff, the proposal's subsections on dissemination and "products to be delivered" section of the proposals' abstracts werereviakdto identify the outputs proposed in each project proposal. c. Question 4.2: To determine what program improvement outputs will result from the implementation of the continuation projects, the outputs identified in" project proposalsorere classtfied within the five ategories of general informq.tion, reports, supplementary and resource aids, educa- tional products and intangible educational innovation. The nine lia'ison proposals were excluded from this categorizing press because few of . these proposals identified outputs other than required reports. Question 5: Guidelines and Specifications for Preparing FY '82 Continuation Proposals requires proposal writers to indicate in their dissemir(ation planning outline the target audience(s) for the projects' output(s). The'proposals which contained a subsection on dissemination (dissemination planning outliner description of dissemination plans) were reviewed to dete target audience(sY for dissemination of oroject outputs waS indicated. 4 . Proposals (excluding Liaison pfoposals) were reviewed to determine.if possible target audiences for dissemination were identifiable in other ..,-. ,s. . '7 -:sIction's-orr slibsections:of the proposal. Question 6.1: Proposal writers were instructed by Guidelines and Specifications for Preparingq'82Continuation Proposals to indicate in their dissemination planning outlines-the activities that will be planned, conducted and followed up during the funding, periodto achieve the dissemination goals of their prOposed projects. All proposals con-, taining a subsection on dissemination were reviewed to determine if dissemination activities were included in the subsection. Proposals which did not contain a subsection on disseminationwere reviewed to determine if dissemination activities Were included in other proposal sections or . Question 6.2: To determine activities planned by proposal writers to achieve their dissemination goals, each'proposal's activities relatingto dissemination were charted with therexception of liaissin proposals. Actiyities from the thirty-ntne proposals which contained dissemination subsections 5dissemination planning outline or description of dissemination plans) were categorized and aggregated to determife theactivities most frequently planned and the levels of dissemination assistance theseactivities provided. , Question 6.3: To determine the intended extent of dissemination which could be assumed for the proposed projects, the activities identifiedto contribute to the four'levels of dissemination developed 4y4the dissemi- nation project were used. Each project's activities were reviewed and matched to activitieson e. the various dissemination levels (avireness, understanding,decision, E210 115 , I implementation). The _number of pr6jects whose ,activities fitinto each of the four levels of,JisseminatiOn were charted. A ch-art showing these levels is included in appendix B. Question 7: To determine if proposal writers identified whoor what ._1 agency will be responsible for dissemination of projects' outputs, each proposal containing a'subsection on dissemination'wasreviewedtosee if project staff persons were identified (either by nameor position title) as responsible fordisseminaihnactivities or if other, persons'or agencies were identified in the plans as responsible for dissemination activitiess. J r) -7 0 -FINDINGS OF THE REVIEW- s : This section presents the findings of the review of fiscal year 1982 continuation proposals for proposal writers' treatments of requirements for -i-ncigstorOof-a-s-ubsection- on dissemination planning. The questions which guided the review serve as the basis for structuring and presenting the 4 findings. Question 1: Did proposal writers follow Guidelines and Specifications for Preparing FY '82 Continuation ,_..,roPosal,s by including in their proposals a dissemination planning outline? Of the sixty proposals reviewed, thirty-one contained dissemination pldnning outlined and eight contained descriptions of dissemination plans. Twenty-one of the proposals did.not contain a subsection ondissemination. Figure 1show the numbers and percentages of proposals which are in each category described above.

One proposal liter identified the projectas "of the dissemi- nation nature" and referred the realien to theobjectivesand A procedures subsections. TwO proposals did notappear to have a dissemination futiction.. The function of these two projects was to'offer supportive fiscal services to another agency. Although none of the ten liaison proposals containeda dis- semination planning outlineall of,these projeCtsappear to be involved with intangible educational innovations (e0.models, 1 . concepts, practices, programs, ideas). Two of the liaison .11 proposals listed products (monographs anda directory) in the "Products to be Delivered" section,of their project'sabstract; althoughtepe...Was no dissemination planfor these products. One propotal has as part of theproject's activities for the f current funding phase the-development ofa dissemination plan.

Dissemination goals should relate to the' purposes of the dissemination activities planned, and are generally related to the levels of assistance -needed to help/a target audience become aware, understand, decide whether, .to use, and/or impleMent a project's, output(s). Examples of dissemination goals taken from F, '82 ContinuationProOOialswhich reflect these traits are as fo)lows: "kit "The target audience will be given the opportunity to examine the first section of the curicula and instructional, materials developed, in field tested and revised in FY 81;_and to use these-materials their programs." 6 Ilk. The target audience wil be informed about the technical assistance/ cbnsultive services that il,l be provided to assist LEA's in infilsing project concepts and products.as' appropriate in their location(s).

Question 4.2: What program improvement outputs will ietult from implementation of the fiscal year 1982 continuation projects? Excluding Liaison proposals, Table 5 illustrates the numbers and percentages of outputs by categories which will NuIt from inple- mentation of the fiscal year 1982 continuatton'projects. Liaison proposals were excluded because few of them identified outputs other than required reports. Looking-et Table 5, it can be seen that-if the 4reports",category - were eljminated, sqpplementary/resource aids and educational products are . . the largest'categories of outputs. Nearly sixty-three percent of the projedt'prdposals reviewed plan -for development and dissemination of supplementary/resource aids and approximately fifty-five percent pan . . . .1 ,development and dissemination of educational products.

In the educational products category in Table A-4 Appendix E curriculdm materials make up the largest classification of specific outputs. Question 5: Did proposal writers follow'Guidelines and Specifications for Preparing FY '82 Continuation Proposals by identifying the target audience(s,) for their project's output(s)? The target audience(s) for dissemination is the intended consumer of. the project's output(s). This definition differs from that used for target audiences of impact. The target audience of impact statements relates to the individuals, groups or institutions that could be affected by theactivities of a research and development program improvement project; It is important that this difference be brought to the reader's attention because assuming that the target audience when'not identified in the dissemination subsection can be identified from other subsections e- could be risky. Fo-r example,. the target audience for impact might be limited English proficiency students but the target audience for dissemi- nation of a limited English proficiency project's outputs could be the teachers of these students. As Figure 2 shows, Of the thirty-nine propoials containing a dissemi- nation planning outline or desctaption of dissemination plans, a target' audience(s) for projects' outputs is identified in twenty-nine of the 1(' E-28 91 i b ' V \ , '0 , As . 4.: di ss emi r ia' t i on planning outlines and in five of the descriOtions of diSseminttion plans.

Activities planned by pnopdsal writers including a subsection on dissemination in their proposals are shown in Table 6. The activities 4 Most freqUently planned were:yorkshops/inserOce, technical assistance,, cfnfertnce,presentations,mailings and project staff contacts. These activities represent the Ski& levels of assistance leading to eventual use el of a project's product(s) or other output(s). Appendix ,8 contains a listing, of activities which Contribute to attaining intended levels of dissemi- nation,. Using this listing, the levels of assistance 4or activities in C Table ',6 were identified.

Question 6.3: Based on the dissemination activities planned by proposal writers, what intended extent (level) of dissemination may be assumed for the pro continuation projects? As stated in the review procedures, the dissemi ation staff has categorized'dissemination activities according to the e e. level of dissemination onecan expect as a result, of accomplishing certain dis- semination activities, Tab4.8 shows the extent (level) of dissemination which can be expected as.a result of carrying out some commonly used dis- semination activities. The levels gf.dissemination in fable 8 are progres- sive; therefore, to reach level three (Decision) plans should include activities which help-the target audience(s) to gain awareness and under= standing. Appendix) shows a "Dissemination Planning Matrix for Three Test Projects. A look at these projects' strategies.(activities) shows how project planners move from awareness to the levels of dissemination desired. , - The intended extent (level) of dissemination which may be assumed \ forthe continuation projects proposed for fiscal year 1982 which contain a 111 subsection on dissemination based on their dissemination activities is represented in Figure 4.

Thirty of the thirty-nine proposals which contain a dissemination planning outline.or description of dissemination plans have activities planned which wills move their target audience into level II (Decision). Nineteen of the proposals contain activities to provide assistance for decision (level III) and ten contain activities to provide assistance in implementiltion (Level IV).

' 4 The dissemination planning ottline does not request that proposal writers identify who or what_agency will be responsible for dissemination of project improvement outputs. There seems to be an implicit assumption that -project staff assume this responsibility in toto; hOweur, some proposal ri writers plan to use other persons and agencies in diSseminating their outputs. Of the 39 proposals having a dissemination planning outlineor des- cription of dissemination plans, 7 (17.95%) identified who or what agency will be responsible for dissemination while 32 (82.05%) did not identify the persons or agencies responsible for dissemination. When other agencies are to be used for-dissemination, they tend to be existing agencies with a dissemination focus 'such as ERIC and the Curriculum Publications Clearinghouse. For many project outputs the Illinois State. Board of Education is the designated agency foOrdisseminat;bn. Where other agencies are to be used- for dissemination of a project's 4 output, there were no plans relating,to how the project staff would. cooperate, coordinate and /or collaborate with the disseminating agency.. ) E -41 , . aa, 111 SUMMARY AND ,RaDMMENDATrONS- 4 summary ft il r %, . , 4% -11 The purposd c' f this review was. to detdrmine if changes in the'ffscal - ...s , , t. _,--- ''year-..-.,. 1982 guideclines for submittingproposalsto the Illinois _State Board afla of Education, Department of Adult, Vocaticznal and TechnicalEducation,-. _ ---.. - ,.

" 4 7 E-44 A r Twenty -one of the t irty -one proposal writers who i luded.a disseminS-. tion planning.outlinein their proposals correctly identified the subsection as specifieTin the. idelines by using the identifying subsection number (5.5) art the topic 1heading (Dissemination,Plannirig,Outline) specified. Two of the eight p oposarlk.iterswho included a description of disSemina- tion plans used thcorrect subsection number. The labeling of a subsection is perhaps a mi4or concern; however, review of this detail providessome . insights as to the rigor with which proposal writers follow the guidelines fol.' writing proposals and the rigor with which proposalsarereviewed and evaluated by the funding source.Also, if the intent is that section '5 be wrirtten it narrative form, then topiCa74subsection identifiers may bemore important and the need for the identifying subtection numbers considerably, less important. Inclusion of dissemination goals. Proposals Containing a ssemination planning outline were much morelikely to contain a dissemination goal(s) than those containing descriptions of dissemination plans ./ it is. ossible, however, that proposal writers who included a'description of dissemination plans instead of a disSeniination planning outline prepared their proposals without the^f0-iscal.year 1982 guidelines andwere not aware of the new 1 di44.1mination planning requirements for the /subsection on disseminati "'" . , . . L In proposals which contained/dissemination goals, there appeared to. be confusion between dis tion goals'and dissemination activities. 05o e . proposal writers.included spe is disseMination activities among. their 4 ro 4 4 dissemination goals. It may be possible the instructions in the guidelines were not understood by slope proposal writers. Theyaskthe writer toi di- : N. cate: the goal(S)-of the dissemination activities to.be condudted'durig the funding period." Stated differently this statemenOsks, what is t O be the result of the dissemination activitit.s carriedout by project staff? The'results should log ically represent the expected/intended .action(s) ex ected from the target audience. For example, tW-goal of a dissemiRa- n activity for an educational product might, be that the target audience, will become a* re of and understand the intendeduses of the product. 0o4puts to be disseminated. The majority of proposal writerslidentified the outputs to be disseminated by their projects. TheoutpOts were in most instance's- identified by the classifications (i.e., information,reports,* Pesource aids) and/or subclass ifications (i.e., bulletins, newsletters, project reports, workshops; handbooks, etc.) used bythe Dissemination Project todefine.program improvement outputs. Some proposal writek were more specific in identifying their.outputs.cThese proposal writers iden- . titled th specific produCts (i.e., fact sheet-oh disadvantaged and hand- . capped ser ices, entrepreneurship education concepts, VESL curricula for 0 M4hine Tool, etc.). There 'appears to be a Reed for more speci fic identification of outputs to occur and be recorded pafticularly if follow-up of,disseminationof a project outputs Max occur at sometimeni n'the future'relatingto their impact. Cerlrnjy, in instances where outputsare identified categorically one_ cannot know'the speOfic outOuts whicharesulted froma project's activities. This situation would Aso lead'to possible duplication ofprojet outputs in successive funding phases. O . . In Guidelines and Specifications. for Preparing FY.182 Con4nuation :. \ . Proposals,it is sited that thedecisionrelating, to the nuMbers'of a , 4 e i ti .final product to:be delivere will bt basedupon theproposal 's subsection - .. . ..-.ft on dissemination planning a d federal d state requirements. This implies . -a, , . .- 0 r' E-46 outputs (products) listed in,the dissemination planning outline are to4/20. included 'among the productto be delivered. There is a relationship between the "products tb be delivered"'subsection of.the proposal abstract and the outputs-to be disseminated; however, it'is not -clear if only phimary outputs of a project are to be included in the sub- section (along with required reports, of course) or if all products (outputs) are to be listed, Further, there appears to be no_ guideline relating to the specificity of identification of products, althoyghthe sample provided in the appendix of the guidelines identifies the project's output by specific title.' Many abstracts include in the -"produces'to be delivered"subsection . only the required reports. Outputs-0 to be isseminated were representative of all output categories-- and subclassificationed.by the Dissemination Project.-However,. it was apparent from the review that most project outputs seem to be in the categories of tangible outputs. There...was less explicit. identification of intangible educational outputs (i.e., co.ncepts,practice(,cograms,ideas, models): 16 'A In the information category, the fact that only two projects listed workshop announcements points to the fact project proposal writers may tend to identify primary, outputs only. Since WorkshopTowere among the activities most frequently proposed for the dissemination of project Output's, one would assume that work- . . . shop announcements will be used; however, only.two project proposals specifi- c . L. . cally identify workshop announcements' as outputs. s . . . . _ . . . . Exclu final project reports;4turriculum materials are the outputs to ? be develp d and disseminated in the gt4test number. This may .reflect a' 4 pribrity of desiring impact at the classroom level by the fundingagency. A ., 4. Identification of target audience(s). Nearly all pFhosal writers identified4 a target'audiehee(s) for their project outcomes. Some proposal writers are quite specific in delimiting the t t audience(s) while others plan a more broad, dissemination of outputs. The spec ficity with which the target audience(s) is or should be identified depe on the nature of the project and the types of outputsl.to be disseminated. However, the dissemination planning outline currently requests "outcomes to be dis mated" and "target audience(s)" for the outputs) in separate sections, the reader must match the-outpdts and the target audience(s) and carr only-assume they have done so correctly. The fact that outputs are in most cases classified _cattier than_specified makes this task more likely to be iaco.prectTY completed. Identification of dissemination activities.Almost all project proposals which include-a subsection dri dissemination identified thelac.tivities to belpondlicted and followed_up to achieve the' dissemination goal(s)- In some project. proposals. which do not contain a subsection on dissemination, activities -which relate fo dissemjnation could be identified from other sections/subsecfion's in the proposal'. and/or proposal abStract. t project Troposals,include several activities.to be conducted to - achieve the dissemination goWs). ° ,0- Activities planned and levels of dissemination. The four levels of 0 f assistance deflation of dissemination includes a systematic proceSs in whi.ch the target audience is moved along continuum from,awar-eness to- implementation of a project's output(s). Since over half of the projects have as primary outputs supplementary resource aids and/or educational products, particularly curriculum materials, implementation would appear E-48 1C.) -16 to to be the logical goal in disseminating these outputs. The activities fflost freqbently planned Were workshops/inservice, / technical assistance, conference presentations, niailicngs and project staff . contacts, and the average number of disseMination activities for 'projects was approximately four. Across the proposals, there is a fairly equal' spre'Sd along the continuum of dissemination assistance levels. This is appropriate since the proposals are continuatipn proposals and the levels of assistance (based on their dissemination activities) should have been 4 _ Progressive aver the funding phase. . There gppears to be a good balance between the types of activities proposed in efficiency anq7effectiveness. For example, workshops, in-' service, -and conference presentations are efficient waysto-move larger numbers of the target audlic4e to understanding ( 11vel 2) and decisionx (levp1 3). Technical assistance and project:staff contacts can increase e effectOeness with which dissemination oCco-sl'f these activities involve-providing information on adaption or adoption'techiques.- A 2 0 Technical assistance pis defined differently by proposal writers and includes a variety of activities including phone calls, .letters, on-site consultation, etc., so it is difficult to knovt what level of assistance, is being delivered by ,this activity. In fict, some definition of the various dissemingtion activities would be. helpful in determining ,the actual level- Of dislemination reached as a result of the activitiv if proposal writers 4 * .. . q , :41 were using the-same definitions when classif ihg their activities. .

There may be a need for project proposal writers to do a more thorough job of determining the assistance required to have-an output adapted/adopted and to plan activities to reach that level of assistance. Identification of persons/agencies responsible for dissemination. It may . seem ,that identifying who or what agency shall be responsible fordissemi,- 4I nation of a project putput(s) is unnecessary because in most cases it is project staff. Further the project's dissemination subsection defines the dissemination plan. However, there may be causes for concern in a number of areas. .These shall be identified by posing a number of questions which may -be asked rejating,to:dissemiiation responsibilities. 1. Are there adequate project staff to cover all dissemination activitie planned? 2. When another agency is. designated to disseminate the research. and de'velopment project's output(s).what information is needed ,by the agency regarding project staff's activities which will° facilitate their dissemination efforts?' 3. When the state funding agency is the primary dissemination agent, to'what extent should project staff be involved in the dissemination procesS, Particularly afte'r termination .t of the p,1oject? At : 4. When an existing dissdminatIon Erit, Curriculum AF 'Publications CleiringhoueY is used for disseminating a project-output has the project -staff planned appropriate activities for making the target audience aware of the output 1 and'what agcy /agencies shall be gisseoinating the output? E-50 1 Ci 7 5. When agencies other than those-which may be classified as e dissemination agencies are to be maj r disseminators ofa. project output, should project staff work with such agencies- to develop a dissemination plan for hat agency to insure 4 achieving the over.111 disiemination g al of the project? In summary, assuming the activities relat ng to dissemination will be Carried out- without identifying wh0-0. what agency shall be responsible for doing so may simply prove, the old addage true that "when everyone is responsible, no one is responsible". . ) A Recommendations .3 A number of general and specific recommendations relating to dissemi- nation can be made based on this review of fiscal'year 1982 continuation ... proposals.

DisseMination activities ar t limited to the final phase of a fundpd project nor limited to the 4. issemination df an end proquct. Rather,disseminatiOrOactivities occur throughout all phases of a funded effort and includes dissemi- nation to targeted audiences of these ideas, information, concepts, , supqementary materials, etc. which, in turn, contribute valuable informition to the development of the, primary or final outcome. Systematic dissemination activities provide information to assess the effectiveness of project andprogram efforts, and thus contribute in iap integral way to overallprogram improvement. a.

(Refer to- Section II/ for a sample Dissemination Planning Outline.) 3. b. Dissemination plan: Following.notice of funding, project staff meet with their respective RDS contract administrator and/or other dissemination consultants to develop an overall project diymination plan using the REP-dissemination planning outline as the framework. Preliminary estimates of size of target audience(s), numbers to print, free copies, format/ 6 1. packaging, and responsibilities for*activities will be made. , Report:' ProgresS Reports include information regarding the planning, conducting, and following up oNissemination activities and --any additional activities or modifications to the project dissemination plan as a r f folTowup and follow thr-du0 activities. inal:Rep rts include information regarding particular dissemination activities plannedloon- ta, ducted, and followed, 0 during the current funding phase. The final-funding plase Final Report includes data collected E -8 L I as a result of followup activities pertaining to the primary 'outcome of a'project and the overall dissemination goal. This data indicates the'actual extent of all dissemination activities. This report may also include recommendations for post-funding dissemination and/or lay the groundwork for future disseminatidk, e.g., distribution through the Curriculum Publications Clearinghouse, private sector publishers, other funded projects, information networks, etc. (included in Sections II/6.2t. Conclusions and Recommendations). ,Information pertaining to future dissemination efforts is also included in the Product Abstract (Section 11/6.2 &.III/5.1). d. Roleand Responsibility: Funding agency staff, project staff, persons/networks/agencies who facilitate access to an outcome, and local level'users all play a vital role in the dissemination process. The planning, conducting, and following up of dissemination activities require the coordination, cooperation, and collaboration of these groups to assure an effective, com- prehensive dissemination system. 1.
