4. "Managing in CIA" ran for the first time in CY 1988 to an audience of

We again showed the CT ethics tape, "A Matter of Trust." For the first
time, we asked on the evaluations for a rating--it got a "3". Students
commented that although the subject was an important one, the film was too
elementary and was not couched to the concerns/interests of managers on this
subject. MTB is considering developing its own segment on the subject and
25X1 will coordinate with others in OTE who have expertise in this area
25X1 Manager-in-residence D/OSP, participated in the course as
a commentator in the segment on PAR writing, and as a panalist in the Career
25X1 Panel ranking, In-box and Individual Action Plan exercises.
C/Advanced Projects Division/OIA, served as the participant-observer for this
running. In a discussion with C/LDD and C/MTB after the course, both praised
the programs (although offering substantive fine tuning), and said that they
thought their most useful contribution in the future would be as commentators
rather than full-fledged instructors (both seemed very unsure of their
ability to be the primary person handling a segment). The discussion also
indicated that in order to get full-value from the managers-in-residence they
will need more guidance, structure and hand-holding as to their role. Rather
than the summary material and student notebooks they now get before attending
the course, first time managers will receive a complete set of course
25X1 materials to include instructor notes and supplementary reading materials.
5. "Managing Change for Managers" ran in the Electives for Managers
program on 19 Janua ? Twenty students gave it an overall evaluation of
125X1 4.2. Contractor made a number of changes in this running in
response to past stusent comments. This included less abstract discussion
and more application of principles relating to change in the work-place
situations.

8. from the Leadership Development
Division met with DSU training officers on 12 January to discuss the
interpersonal skills training program being developed by OTE. The program,
which includes six courses designed for non-manager--technical/professional
officers--was presented to the STOs on 7 January for their endorsement and
prioritization. The meeting with the DSO' Training Officers was to brief
them on the courses and to answer questions about scheduling, location, and
registration procedures. Enthusiasm for the program was high. In fact, the
Training Officers wanted to know if they could start sending registration
forms now even though OTE has not officially begun advertising the courses.
The course priorities set by the Senior Training Officers are:
1 Leadership Styles and Behavior
2 Negotiate To Win
3 Creative Problem Solving
4 Communicating Non-Defensively
5 Conducting Effective Meetings
6 Improving Your Work Skills
LDD is also developing a program of relevant self-study materials to
supplement classroom offerings. These materials, largely commercial
products are unclassified and will be available through the OTE Learning
Centers.
9. Five members of LDD
participated last week ary) in the Office of
_Finance (OF) Budget and Finance conference held for 75 BU Officers
and OF top management. Two meetings were held wit 0 management prior to
the conference to outline how a four-hour block of time could best be used to
discuss BU management/leadership issues. Small group discussions, with LDD
members leading them, was the design selected. Topics discussed in small
groups included: a) the role/functions of the BU Officer, b) Agency image of
BU Officers, c) Development of new personnel, and d) Competing
interests--the consumer vs OF. Ideas were captured on flip chart paper and
reported out and discussed further at the evening plenary session. OF top
management were delighted with the outcome of the session to include the
level and intensity of participation as well as the quality and
insightfulness of the reports. Time permitting, LDD will continue to provide
this type of support; it benefits them and keeps us close to our customers.

1. The SCRIPT course on 14-15 January was again a self-paced class
using the SCRIPT self-study book and corresponding videotapes. At this
time, a description of SCRIPT as a self-paced course will be sent to all
training officers. SCRIPT, as a second level class, lends itself well to
this method because of the variety of abilities of students. Ten
students completed the course, one at noon on day 1, two at the end of
day 1, the others all finished at noon, day 2. Those who had problems
editing in VM did not slow down those who had no editing problems.
Individualized help was given to those who needed it.
2. The Political Psychology Division of LDA invited ISTD to provide
special SAFE D3.1 training at LDA/PPD for a number of its people on
20-21 January 1988. LDA/PPD is presently under-staffed with analysts
handling multiple accounts. The in-house training given by ISTD was very
effective for the members of LDA who attended. The training was tailored
to meet their immediate individual needs. After the LDA students have
used SAFE for a week, ISTD will provide them with an additional day of
in-house follow-up training.

Development met with Computer Scientist/Researcher
from ORD's Information Systems Research Division. We discussed types of
practical research projects ORD might want to consider for future

Institute and Center for Instructional Development and Evaluation, LTD's
Chief, Curriculum and Staff Development , Chief, CBT,
, Japanese Instructor and Swedish
Instructo Tisited College Park on 21 January 1988.
On the agenda were the use of low-tech equipment (audio and video tapes)
to enhance the teaching of English as a second language and the much-
publicized pilot version of a Japanese interactive video course under
development at the University of California, and being evaluated by the
University of Maryland.
All four visitors came away with some good, new and inexpensive ideas
to implement in the language classroom. The Japanese interactive video
program, however, was a disappointment: state-of-the-art high tech, but
dismally unimaginative instructional design. The content was a series of
TV commercials, first played without and later with sound. After each
video sequence, the student was asked what he thought was going on in the
commercial. Questions and answers were in English, and there was no
attempt at guiding the student to further comprehension.
3. As part of the OTE "Instructors' Training Program," Slavic and
Germanic (SW) Branch Polish instructor I presented the
25 January Brown Bag Lunch session on the topic "Language Awareness."
(PE] Staff) praised the talk for its "diversity and
