FCP: Communicating,
Replicating and Planning State-level Initiatives
The
Technical Assistance team of Family Connection Partnership has been actively
supporting statewide collaborative efforts throughout Georgia. From Jan.
1 to Sept. 30 of this year, the team made 196 visits to counties to deliver
training, technical assistance and support. Statewide trainings include
six Evaluation Learning Institutes in August and September, where nearly
260 community representatives attended.
The team
also has provided support to the following agencies:
- Office
of School Readiness. FCP delivered five training sessions to pre-kindergarten
staff.
- Department
of Education. FCP delivered four trainings at four conference sites
and at four school sites for Georgia READS, a school readiness and family
literacy initiative.

- Governor's
Office of Planning and Budget. FCP provided staff support to the Governor's

to assure that state agencies and local officials take steps to coordinate
efforts to help Georgia's most vulnerable children and families. Its
charge was to review and assess the current child placement system,
make recommendations on this placement system, and develop a state plan
for safe child placements.

Division with the support of tobacco funding.
