This guide is the fifth in a series of eleven generated in 1978 as the result of workshops that focused on peer training, a different approach to teaching. The workshops provided the opportunity for members of eleven identified role groups to work together with peers to examine the relationship between their specific role group and community education and the ways in which they could stimulate their peers to improve role performance and effectiveness. This booklet focuses on community education as seen by systemwide coordinators--persons responsible for either all schools within a county or for the activities of several building-level coordinators. Topics considered include the responsibilities of the position concerning organization and administration, finance, the community education program, and its implementation; problems and benefits derived from the program; evaluation; and training.
