What kind of consultation and training will be provided for institutions selected to run this years programs?
STARTALK Central will provide web-based modules on developing a STARTALK curriculum using the prescribed template and offer a 2-day workshop devoted to the criteria that will be used to monitor program effectiveness. In addition, STARTALK staff will work closely with each program to ensure that curricula, materials, and instructional strategies are in place before the program begins. Site visits will be made to each program. There is also the possibility of a second site visit. Based on the objectives and expected outcomes of the program, STARTALK staff will work with you to determine appropriate assessment strategies.
