Handouts from the course are provided here for the convenience of our students who may wish to hold discussions about the selected topics from the course back in their own agencies.     Please note that the modules change a little over time, so the handouts here may differ slightly in content from the ones in the binder you received.     (They will differ dramatically in appearance from Year 1 sessions.)     Handouts currently provided here are the version that we used at the start of the second year of the course-- December 6-7, 2005 in Canandaigua.     We apologize that it will not always be possible to have the most current (or older) versions online.

The handouts are provided in .pdf form to minimize formatting problems on different machines.    To provide maximum readability, we have printed them two slides per page, unlike the manual which uses the three slide-and-Notes layout.

For your convenience, we provide the files both as one .pdf per course module and as one large zipped archive file with all handouts.    Note that the latter is a large file (56.8 mb), which will take considerable time to download over slow network connections. (Software like PKZIP can be used to unzip this file into individual pdfs) Individual modules range in size from 1.4 to 11.5 mb, which may still take awhile to download.

If you use these files, please take a minute to send us an email telling us how you are using them.    Visitors who would like to request other versions of these files may also contact us at the address below.
