How is TA delivered?
CCDO will work to match a site’s needs to a qualified TA provider. A working TA plan is then developed and processed for approval. In most cases, CCDO sends the service provider to the Weed and Seed site to provide direct TA. The TA service provider along with the site representatives (i.e., site coordinator, Steering Committee members, and USAO contact) meet to discuss the TA plan; services are then rendered as outlined in the plan. Progress is monitored by the CCDO Program Manager for your state. Sometimes the provider works for one day, or the TA may require several days. Everything depends on the needs of the site. In some cases, the site’s needs can be fulfilled through telephone consultation with TA providers, rendering a site visit unnecessary. TA comes in many forms. Ongoing TA and training coordinated by CCDO may come in the following forms: • Electronic (e.g., e-mails, CCDO Web site). • Peer-to-peer training (sites learn from other Weed and Seed contacts). • Training workshop
