Abstract
Can two urgently needed prongs of development-staff training and community leader training-be successfully handled together? These authors say yes. They discuss one application of this dual training: a workshop on community problems (communication between classes, decision making, etc.) held in an Appalachian county. They believe staff and community-leader reactions from this one workshop may indicate that this training method can be effective in aiding disadvantaged communities. This method includes: (1) isolating the workshop site from the community, (2) having a representative socioeconomic mix of participants, (3) providing for unstructured discussions, and (4) presenting structured situations for analysis.
