Measuring the Effectiveness of the Training Program
An important part of the program will be a continuing effort
to measure its effectiveness in advancing the people's understanding of radiation matters.
Information gained from this
will be used to alter the training program as necessary.
III. Problem Areas and Areas Requiring Investigation
A.
Language barrier
The ability of the teachers we train to speak, read, and write
English will affect our plan.
Qur classes may have to be
taught in Marshallese--this will require a well-qualified
interpreter, which is difficult to find.
Forum for getting information to adults and children
School classes and adult education classes are possible avenues
of communication.
The availability of other means for disseminating
information about radiation needs to be explored.
These might
include newspapers, radio, television and existing community,
religious, and social activities.
Compensation for teachers
Salaries and expenses of teachers during training periods and
when teaching at their home islands will need to be provided.
