Rick,
As the Director of the EFF National Center, it is my job to ensure that the 
EFF training is as relevant and pertinent to your work as possible.  I invite 
you to help me do this.  So, if you would answer the following questions, 
perhaps it will help the list pin point some of the frustrations about our 
training, and will help us address your frustrations.  There have been very 
concrete, good suggestions from this list that we are taking very seriously 
as we redesign the way we introduce EFF as well as continue to provide 
technical assistance to new and continuing customers.

What were your expectations of the training?  What did you want to get out of 
it?

Why didn't it meet your expectations or goals?

What part of the presentation gave you the impression that there is only "one 
way" to do EFF?

How had you been using EFF? (using the 4 purposes and role maps only?)

Was it the standards that seemed to be unuser friendly?

Perhaps the teachers and director at Big Bend, our guest program, can make 
some comments on EFF being the only way.  And how we, at the National Center, 
can be more helpful in helping teachers and programs integrate EFF in a way 
that doesn't seem so directed.

Thank you for raising these issues.  I look forward to hearing your response.
