NCLB Coordinators' Guide
How to use this Guide
Recognizing that every neighbourhood and NCLB site is different, the training on how to implement the NCLB approach examines the fundamental requirements of a NCLB Coordinator/Community Developer (CDer). All of the points covered in the training may not be relevant to every site. New information may help keep every site moving in the right direction. Once the training is completed, the Guide will be a handy reference for NCLB Coordinators/CDers.
It is important to understand that implementing NCLB approach in different communities requires different tools and skills. Acknowledgement of these differences and varied experience informed the basic structure of the Coordinator Training Guide with separate knowledge sections dedicated to specific areas of responsibility.
The following sections are intended to help new NCLB coordinators build upon their respective strengths. These sections will also provide clarity on how to interact with the other stakeholders and how to identify the responsibilities of all partners associated with the design and implementation of the overall strategy. The main sections are:
- Roles and Responsibilities;
- Collaborations and Relationship with Partners;
- Strategy Development and Implementation;
- Sustainability;
- Technology;
- Programmatic and Financial Requirements.
Questions may still arise after completing this training. The NCLB Coordinators will be provided with a list of experienced partners from different agencies who have worked together in South East Ottawa, and who can be reached as a valuable resource.
Upon completion of this training, the coordinators will understand the broad range of responsibilities NCLB coordinators have in helping to implement the NCLB strategy. Furthermore, it should be clear to the coordinators that the responsibility for the implementation of the strategy is not limited to the Site Coordinator. Steering Committee members, subcommittee members, the partnering agencies, and other community stakeholders all play significant roles in this important endeavour.
It is advisable that the users note the topics that need further clarification at the completion of each section. These questions will also help us in determining what additional information should be incorporated into an updated training program. There is no need to worry if some of the questions are left unanswered in the training section. A variety of resources are available to help alleviate the coordinators work through the issue they face.
