<p>Mvince: /* Subject Matter Teams */</p> <hr /> <div>[https://www.ladco.org/wiki/index.php?title=National_Air_Pollution_Training_Program National Training Program Wiki Main Page]<br /> <br /> =Members=<br /> Co-Lead(s): Michael Vince (CenSARA)<br /> <br /> Members: Kristen Riha (EPA OAQPS), Becky Southard (TCEQ), Nancy Kruger (NACAA), Brian Foster (AAPCA Training Committee), Jeff Gabler (WESTAR), Jason Sloan (AAPCA), Mark Buford (NAACA Training Committee), Adam Baumgart-Getz (EPA OAQPS), Kara Murphy (Communications Workgroup), Sarah Matthews (EPA-OAQPS), Jonathan Bradsher (EPA-OAQPS)<br /> <br /> If you would like to participate on one of the subject matter teams, or otherwise participate in this workgroup, please email [[mvince@censara.org]].<br /> <br /> =Overview and Charge=<br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> The National Air Pollution Training Program Collaborative was formed to review and develop training materials for the National Air Pollution Training Program (the Training Program). One component of this Training Program is to support the training of federal, state, local, and tribal (SLT) air agency staff by maintaining a library of course materials on different subjects related to air pollution management. A collaborative effort between federal, regional, and state air program staff is needed to continually review the course materials and to evaluate whether the materials are meeting the training needs of the SLT air programs. <br /> <br /> ==Charge==<br /> <br /> The charge of this Collaborative is to review all Training Program course materials on a regular schedule and facilitate updates to the materials, as needed. In addition to reviewing the materials for updates, there are many courses in the Training Program curriculum that are underutilized. The Collaborative will review the courses in the curriculum and recommend removing and/or consolidating courses in order to streamline the task of managing the course materials. Finally, the Collaborative will identify courses materials that may be missing from the curriculum and develop recommendations for creating entirely new courses.<br /> <br /> ==Subject Matter Teams==<br /> <br /> The task of reviewing the hundreds of courses currently in the Training Program will be managed by organizing the Collaborative around subject matter teams. Each team will be charged with reviewing and maintaining the materials for different subject matter areas. Team membership will include two co-leads. One co-lead will be from EPA, the other will be from a state agency or an MJO. The co-leads must have experience with the subject matter area and be well-connected in the national community for that area. The co-leads are responsible for prioritizing issues related to the review and maintenance of the training materials, recruiting team members, leading team member interactions, and ensuring that outputs/results from the team are communicated to the coordinating committee.<br /> <br /> The co-leads will recruit additional team members, as needed, to support the course material review. Team members are responsible for contributing to the effort of reviewing the course materials and prioritizing improvements to the materials.<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will work independently and in parallel on reviewing the course materials in their subject area in pursuit of creating recommendations and priorities for how to improve the materials within their domain. Courses will be prioritized and teams assembled based upon priorities set by the workgroup and the coordination committee. A coordination committee will provide logistical support and facilitation to the subject matter teams as they move toward the goal of fully updated course materials to support the training needs of SLT air agencies.<br /> <br /> This wiki will be used to document the progress of the work within each team.<br /> <br /> === Tasks ===<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will be responsible for accomplishing the following tasks<br /> <br /> * Categorize all available training materials in APTI and NACT (and elsewhere, if applicable) into their subject matter area. This task may involve working with other subject matter teams to determine in which area a set of course materials is best categorized.<br /> * Determine when each set of course materials was last updated and where those updated materials are stored (e.g., are they on APTI-Learn or with a contractor)<br /> * Determine the level of demand for a set of course materials. When were they last used? How many trainings/year use the materials? Are there planned courses that will use the materials?<br /> * Determine where there is redundancy across course materials and develop a plan for consolidating courses<br /> * Identify courses that are no longer in demand, and create a plan for decommissioning the materials for the course<br /> * Identify training needs in the subject matter area that are not being met with the current course materials. Create a list of new courses that will need to be created to meet these unmet training needs<br /> * Estimate the amount of effort (FTEs) that will be needed from outside of the team, either as contractor support or in-kind support from the EPA/MJOs, to update/develop new course materials in order to meet the training needs of the SLTs in the subject matter area<br /> * Hold monthly calls with the team to work through the above tasks<br /> * Document progress on this wiki and report progress to the coordination committee<br /> <br /> ==Coordination Committee==<br /> <br /> The coordination committee will provide governance and logistical support to the Collaborative subject matter teams. The coordination committee will be composed of two co-leads (EPA + MJO/state), each of the co-leads from the subject matter teams, and the MJO executive directors.<br /> <br /> === Tasks ===<br /> <br /> The coordination committee will be responsible for accomplishing the following tasks<br /> <br /> * Develop a workplan for the Collaborative<br /> * Create and maintain logistical infrastructure for communication and information sharing<br /> * Collect and consolidate the priorities/recommendations from the subject matter teams<br /> * Work with EPA to secure and facilitate resources to address the recommendations for improving the training materials<br /> * Convene regular calls with the subject matter area co-leads to track progress and work through issues in the Collaborative<br /> <br /> =Subject Matter Team Wikis=<br /> <br /> The course materials will be divided into subject matter areas that follow the APTI functional areas, with several courses included in each area.

One component of this Training Program is to support the training of federal, state, local, and tribal (SLT) air agency staff by maintaining a library of course materials on different subjects related to air pollution management. A collaborative effort between federal, regional, and state air program staff is needed to continually review the course materials and to evaluate whether the materials are meeting the training needs of the SLT air programs. <br /> <br /> ==Charge==<br /> <br /> The charge of this Collaborative is to review all Training Program course materials on a regular schedule and facilitate updates to the materials, as needed. In addition to reviewing the materials for updates, there are many courses in the Training Program curriculum that are underutilized. The Collaborative will review the courses in the curriculum and recommend removing and/or consolidating courses in order to streamline the task of managing the course materials. Finally, the Collaborative will identify courses materials that may be missing from the curriculum and develop recommendations for creating entirely new courses.<br /> <br /> ==Subject Matter Teams==<br /> <br /> The task of reviewing the hundreds of courses currently in the Training Program will be managed by organizing the Collaborative around subject matter teams. Each team will be charged with reviewing and maintaining the materials for different subject matter areas. Team membership will include two co-leads. One co-lead will be from EPA, the other will be from a state agency or an MJO. The co-leads must have experience with the subject matter area and be well-connected in the national community for that area. The co-leads are responsible for prioritizing issues related to the review and maintenance of the training materials, recruiting team members, leading team member interactions, and ensuring that outputs/results from the team are communicated to the coordinating committee.<br /> <br /> The co-leads will recruit additional team members, as needed, to support the course material review.

<p>Mvince: </p> <hr /> <div>[https://www.ladco.org/wiki/index.php?title=National_Air_Pollution_Training_Program National Training Program Wiki Main Page]<br /> <br /> =Members=<br /> Co-Lead(s): Michael Vince (CenSARA)<br /> <br /> Members: Kristen Rhea (EPA OAQPS), Jason Rayfield (Mecklenburg County, NC), Becky Southard (TCEQ), Phil Assmus (NACAA Training Committee), Brian Foster (AAPCA Training Committee)<br /> <br /> If you would like to participate on one of the subject matter teams, or otherwise participate in this workgroup, please email [[mvince@censara.org]].<br /> <br /> =Overview and Charge=<br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> The National Air Pollution Training Program Collaborative was formed to review and develop training materials for the National Air Pollution Training Program (the Training Program). One component of this Training Program is to support the training of federal, state, local, and tribal (SLT) air agency staff by maintaining a library of course materials on different subjects related to air pollution management. A collaborative effort between federal, regional, and state air program staff is needed to continually review the course materials and to evaluate whether the materials are meeting the training needs of the SLT air programs. <br /> <br /> ==Charge==<br /> <br /> The charge of this Collaborative is to review all Training Program course materials on a regular schedule and facilitate updates to the materials, as needed. In addition to reviewing the materials for updates, there are many courses in the Training Program curriculum that are underutilized. The Collaborative will review the courses in the curriculum and recommend removing and/or consolidating courses in order to streamline the task of managing the course materials. Finally, the Collaborative will identify courses materials that may be missing from the curriculum and develop recommendations for creating entirely new courses.<br /> <br /> ==Subject Matter Teams==<br /> <br /> The task of reviewing the hundreds of courses currently in the Training Program will be managed by organizing the Collaborative around subject matter teams. Each team will be charged with reviewing and maintaining the materials for different subject matter areas. Team membership will include two co-leads. One co-lead will be from EPA, the other will be from a state agency or an MJO. The co-leads must have experience with the subject matter area and be well-connected in the national community for that area. The co-leads are responsible for prioritizing issues related to the review and maintenance of the training materials, recruiting team members, leading team member interactions, and ensuring that outputs/results from the team are communicated to the coordinating committee.<br /> <br /> The co-leads will recruit additional team members, as needed, to support the course material review. Team members are responsible for contributing to the effort of reviewing the course materials and prioritizing improvements to the materials.<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will work independently and in parallel on reviewing the course materials in their subject area in pursuit of creating recommendations and priorities for how to improve the materials within their domain. Courses will be prioritized and teams assembled based upon priorities set by the workgroup and the coordination committee. A coordination committee will provide logistical support and facilitation to the subject matter teams as they move toward the goal of fully updated course materials to support the training needs of SLT air agencies.<br /> <br /> During August 2019, there is a survey posted to gather additional priority information from state, local and EPA staff. To participate in the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JY32RHX.<br /> <br /> This wiki will be used to document the progress of the work within each team.<br /> <br /> === Tasks ===<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will be responsible for accomplishing the following tasks<br /> <br /> * Categorize all available training materials in APTI and NACT (and elsewhere, if applicable) into their subject matter area. This task may involve working with other subject matter teams to determine in which area a set of course materials is best categorized.<br /> * Determine when each set of course materials was last updated and where those updated materials are stored (e.g., are they on APTI-Learn or with a contractor)<br /> * Determine the level of demand for a set of course materials. When were they last used? How many trainings/year use the materials?

<p>Mvince: /* Subject Matter Teams */</p> <hr /> <div>[https://www.ladco.org/wiki/index.php?title=National_Air_Pollution_Training_Program National Training Program Wiki Main Page]<br /> <br /> =Members=<br /> Co-Lead(s): Michael Vince (CenSARA)<br /> <br /> Members: Kristen Rhea (EPA OAQPS)<br /> <br /> If you would like to participate on one of the subject matter teams, or otherwise participate in this workgroup, please email [[mvince@censara.org]].<br /> <br /> =Overview and Charge=<br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> The National Air Pollution Training Program Collaborative was formed to review and develop training materials for the National Air Pollution Training Program (the Training Program). One component of this Training Program is to support the training of federal, state, local, and tribal (SLT) air agency staff by maintaining a library of course materials on different subjects related to air pollution management. A collaborative effort between federal, regional, and state air program staff is needed to continually review the course materials and to evaluate whether the materials are meeting the training needs of the SLT air programs. <br /> <br /> ==Charge==<br /> <br /> The charge of this Collaborative is to review all Training Program course materials on a regular schedule and facilitate updates to the materials, as needed. In addition to reviewing the materials for updates, there are many courses in the Training Program curriculum that are underutilized. The Collaborative will review the courses in the curriculum and recommend removing and/or consolidating courses in order to streamline the task of managing the course materials. Finally, the Collaborative will identify courses materials that may be missing from the curriculum and develop recommendations for creating entirely new courses.<br /> <br /> ==Subject Matter Teams==<br /> <br /> The task of reviewing the hundreds of courses currently in the Training Program will be managed by organizing the Collaborative around subject matter teams. Each team will be charged with reviewing and maintaining the materials for different subject matter areas. Team membership will include two co-leads. One co-lead will be from EPA, the other will be from a state agency or an MJO. The co-leads must have experience with the subject matter area and be well-connected in the national community for that area. The co-leads are responsible for prioritizing issues related to the review and maintenance of the training materials, recruiting team members, leading team member interactions, and ensuring that outputs/results from the team are communicated to the coordinating committee.<br /> <br /> The co-leads will recruit additional team members, as needed, to support the course material review. Team members are responsible for contributing to the effort of reviewing the course materials and prioritizing improvements to the materials.<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will work independently and in parallel on reviewing the course materials in their subject area in pursuit of creating recommendations and priorities for how to improve the materials within their domain. Courses will be prioritized and teams assembled based upon priorities set by the workgroup and the coordination committee. A coordination committee will provide logistical support and facilitation to the subject matter teams as they move toward the goal of fully updated course materials to support the training needs of SLT air agencies.<br /> <br /> This wiki will be used to document the progress of the work within each team.<br /> <br /> === Tasks ===<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will be responsible for accomplishing the following tasks<br /> <br /> * Categorize all available training materials in APTI and NACT (and elsewhere, if applicable) into their subject matter area. This task may involve working with other subject matter teams to determine in which area a set of course materials is best categorized.<br /> * Determine when each set of course materials was last updated and where those updated materials are stored (e.g., are they on APTI-Learn or with a contractor)<br /> * Determine the level of demand for a set of course materials. When were they last used? How many trainings/year use the materials? Are there planned courses that will use the materials?<br /> * Determine where there is redundancy across course materials and develop a plan for consolidating courses<br /> * Identify courses that are no longer in demand, and create a plan for decommissioning the materials for the course<br /> * Identify training needs in the subject matter area that are not being met with the current course materials. Create a list of new courses that will need to be created to meet these unmet training needs<br /> * Estimate the amount of effort (FTEs) that will be needed from outside of the team, either as contractor support or in-kind support from the EPA/MJOs, to update/develop new course materials in order to meet the training needs of the SLTs in the subject matter area<br /> * Hold monthly calls with the team to work through the above tasks<br /> * Document progress on this wiki and report progress to the coordination committee<br /> <br /> ==Coordination Committee==<br /> <br /> The coordination committee will provide governance and logistical support to the Collaborative subject matter teams. The coordination committee will be composed of two co-leads (EPA + MJO/state), each of the co-leads from the subject matter teams, and the MJO executive directors.<br /> <br /> === Tasks ===<br /> <br /> The coordination committee will be responsible for accomplishing the following tasks<br /> <br /> * Develop a workplan for the Collaborative<br /> * Create and maintain logistical infrastructure for communication and information sharing<br /> * Collect and consolidate the priorities/recommendations from the subject matter teams<br /> * Work with EPA to secure and facilitate resources to address the recommendations for improving the training materials<br /> * Convene regular calls with the subject matter area co-leads to track progress and work through issues in the Collaborative<br /> <br /> =Subject Matter Team Wikis=<br /> <br /> The course materials will be divided into subject matter areas that follow the APTI functional areas, with several courses included in each area.

<p>Mvince: /* Subject Matter Team Wikis */</p> <hr /> <div>[https://www.ladco.org/wiki/index.php?title=National_Air_Pollution_Training_Program National Training Program Wiki Main Page]<br /> <br /> =Members=<br /> Co-Lead(s): Michael Vince (CenSARA)<br /> <br /> Members: Kristen Rhea (EPA OAQPS)<br /> <br /> =Overview and Charge=<br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> The National Air Pollution Training Program Collaborative was formed to review and develop training materials for the National Air Pollution Training Program (the Training Program). One component of this Training Program is to support the training of federal, state, local, and tribal (SLT) air agency staff by maintaining a library of course materials on different subjects related to air pollution management. A collaborative effort between federal, regional, and state air program staff is needed to continually review the course materials and to evaluate whether the materials are meeting the training needs of the SLT air programs. <br /> <br /> ==Charge==<br /> <br /> The charge of this Collaborative is to review all Training Program course materials on a regular schedule and facilitate updates to the materials, as needed. In addition to reviewing the materials for updates, there are many courses in the Training Program curriculum that are underutilized. The Collaborative will review the courses in the curriculum and recommend removing and/or consolidating courses in order to streamline the task of managing the course materials. Finally, the Collaborative will identify courses materials that may be missing from the curriculum and develop recommendations for creating entirely new courses.<br /> <br /> ==Subject Matter Teams==<br /> <br /> The task of reviewing the hundreds of courses currently in the Training Program will be managed by organizing the Collaborative around subject matter teams. Each team will be charged with reviewing and maintaining the materials for different subject matter areas. Team membership will include two co-leads. One co-lead will be from EPA, the other will be from a state agency or an MJO. The co-leads must have experience with the subject matter area and be well-connected in the national community for that area. The co-leads are responsible for prioritizing issues related to the review and maintenance of the training materials, recruiting team members, leading team member interactions, and ensuring that outputs/results from the team are communicated to the coordinating committee.<br /> <br /> The co-leads will recruit additional team members, as needed, to support the course material review. Team members are responsible for contributing to the effort of reviewing the course materials and prioritizing improvements to the materials.<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will work independently and in parallel on reviewing the course materials in their subject area in pursuit of creating recommendations and priorities for how to improve the materials within their domain. A coordination committee will provide logistical support and facilitation to the subject matter teams as they move toward the goal of fully updated course materials to support the training needs of SLT air agencies.<br /> <br /> This wiki will be used to document the progress of the work within each team.<br /> <br /> === Tasks ===<br /> <br /> The subject matter teams will be responsible for accomplishing the following tasks<br /> <br /> * Categorize all available training materials in APTI and NACT (and elsewhere, if applicable) into their subject matter area. This task may involve working with other subject matter teams to determine in which area a set of course materials is best categorized.<br /> * Determine when each set of course materials was last updated and where those updated materials are stored (e.g., are they on APTI-Learn or with a contractor)<br /> * Determine the level of demand for a set of course materials. When were they last used? How many trainings/year use the materials? Are there planned courses that will use the materials?<br /> * Determine where there is redundancy across course materials and develop a plan for consolidating courses<br /> * Identify courses that are no longer in demand, and create a plan for decommissioning the materials for the course<br /> * Identify training needs in the subject matter area that are not being met with the current course materials. Create a list of new courses that will need to be created to meet these unmet training needs<br /> * Estimate the amount of effort (FTEs) that will be needed from outside of the team, either as contractor support or in-kind support from the EPA/MJOs, to update/develop new course materials in order to meet the training needs of the SLTs in the subject matter area<br /> * Hold monthly calls with the team to work through the above tasks<br /> * Document progress on this wiki and report progress to the coordination committee<br /> <br /> ==Coordination Committee==<br /> <br /> The coordination committee will provide governance and logistical support to the Collaborative subject matter teams.

The priorities were defined by the MJOs based on discussions with their SLT members and their own perspectives on the state of the Program. A new organizational structure for the JTC and workgroups was proposed by the MJOs as a straw proposal (image to the right).<br /> <br /> The structure is envisioned as an hourglass with the JTC at-large membership and workgroups each as the wide collection points, and a steering committee as the central funnel point in the hourglass. Information will flow into Program from the SLTs, MJOs, and federal partners through the JTC at-large. The information entering the program through the JTC will be processed and redistributed by the Steering Committee to the workgroups. Co-leads from the MJOs and SLTs, will manage and facilitate activities in the workgroups with participation from EPA advisors. Work products will flow back from the workgroups to the Steering Committee in the form of regular communications on workgroup progress, and deliverables. The Steering Committee will push these deliverables back to the JTC for communication and distribution out of the JTC to the National Program stakeholders, including SLTs and training contractors. <br /> <br /> [[File:Training JTC Organization 190405 Scope.png|750px|right|border|JTC Workgroup Scope, version April 5, 2018]]<br /> <br /> ==Steering Committee==<br /> The JTC Steering Committee is a subset of the JTC and includes the co-leads of each of the work groups.
