The Resource Library Continues to Grow

Contributions from the 2018 Gathering are nearly all loaded.  Our early 2018 focus has been on 
  • Grassroots Toolbox: tools and examples useful for students/youth, community organizers, and neighborhood leaders
  • Connecting with Clients: practical tools for needs assessment and contracting with clients; examples of winning proposals
  • Innovative Edges: tools, templates, and examples for integrating ToP with other cutting edge techniques
  • Inclusive Materials: multilingual or culturally contextualized resources
  • Fostering Dialogue: pre-written Focused Conversations on a range of topics
And, as always, we welcome:
  • Samples of items from certification portfolios
  • Case studies, stories, and documentation examples from the field
  • Participant handouts, PowerPoint presentations
  • Advice, tips, and cheat sheets
  • Exercises, games, videos, etc. to encourage creative, strategic, or reflective thinking
