Abstract

One of the means of exending the impact of Extension programs, as envisioned by th Joint USDA/NASULGC Extension Study Committee, is through the use of paid employees who are not considered professionals (referred to as aides, subprofessionals, technicians, program assistants, etc.). As Silverman points out in the Spring, 1969 issue of this journal, adding this group to the organization presents some real challenges and opportunities. One opportunity is in the prospect for improving teaching efforts. Specifically, such personnel are thought to hold considerable promise in working with the disadvantaged. This article uses specific references to the Extension nutrition program for the disadvantaged to point out how learning can be facilitated. However, its implications go beyond the teaching of nutrition.
