ABE Program Design Training For New Directors

All new program directors and other staff who may be required to enter program plans into SMARTT (e.g., site coordinators, assistant directors) must attend this required training where the components of program design will be discussed and participants will receive hands-on experience in SMARTT. The application process for both new and continuation ABE funding from ESE requires the applicant to utilize the tools in SMARTT to develop a program plan. The ABE Program Design training is designed to enable participants to develop a fundable plan, using SMARTT, which is consistent with the MA Guidelines for Effective ABE and ESE policy requirements.
