This guide is the sixth in a series of eleven generated in 1978 as the result of workshops that focused on peer training, a different approach to teaching. The workshops provided the opportunity for members of eleven identified role groups to work together with peers to examine the relationship between their specific role group and community education and the ways in which they could stimulate their peers to improve role performance and effectiveness. This booklet focuses on community education as seen by coordinators of programs. Topics considered include characteristics of building level coordinators, responsibilities, steps in program development, and evaluation. An extensive section on training strategies discusses professional development of coordinators, communications, and interaction between higher education agencies and practitioners. (Author/LD)
