Transformation to a Web-Based Preservice Training Program: A Case Study
Lifter, Karin; Kruger, Louis; Okun, Barbara; Tabol, Charity; Poklop, Laurie; Shishmanian, Eunice
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v25 n1 p15-24 Apr 2005
In this article, the authors describe how they transformed their interdisciplinary personnel preparation program in early intervention from a traditional classroom format to a primarily Web-based format. The authors used force field analysis, informed by survey results of faculty and practitioners, to examine the external and internal factors that served as driving and restraining forces and found that internal forces, such as idea champions and the university's organization, were crucial components in driving change. In addition, data-based decision making was central to informing the direction of change.
