ABSTRACT: This paper provides a description of the Program
Manager Workshop, a skill-based management training
workshop for managers of group homes. The workshop is an
extension of the Teaching-Family Model of Community Based
Care, a model used in residential treatment homes for
persons experiencing problems such as delinquency,
retardation, mental illness, and autism. Each section of
the workshop follows the format of lecture, discussion,
modeling, and behavioral rehearsal. The content of various
workshop sections is outlined: (1) Planning for
Organizational Change; (2) Dealing with Bureaucratic
Behavior; (3) Policies and Procedural Checklisting; (4)
Shades of Differences; (5) Staff Meetings;
(6) Equal Employment/Affirmative Action; (7) Responsive
Management; (8) Problem Analysis and Decision Making; and
(9) The Program Manager as a Teacher. The workshop
evaluation is presented along three dimensions: participant
satisfaction, skill performance, and consumer satisfaction.
Evaluation data are presented which suggest participants
are
highly satisfied, use workshop content and have improved
their skills. Other data suggest that the utilization of
workshop skills results in high consumer satisfaction by
supervisees. Appendices provide complete workshop
descriptions, evaluation materials and other useful forms.
