The National Diffusion Network was initiated in 1974 by the United States Office of Education (USOE). Thirty states developed state facilitators the first year and 36 states had facilitators the second year. Among the facilitators in the network, there appears to be considerable difference in the approaches that are taken to diffuse the projects that have been identified by USOE/NIE and the Joint Dissemination Review Panel. Most of the differences reflect the range of theory found in the literature regarding dissemination and diffusion. When examining the available knowledge and experience available to linking agents, it became clear to the LINK staff that some clear choices had to be made. There are at least three general models than can be identified as relating to State Facilitator work (Education Program Facilitators): (1) product/knowledge dissemination; (2) process change model; and (3) the interactive model. This paper is concerned with some of the conclusions the LINK staff has made about facilitating change and ways to train people to do it. (Author/BBM)
