§      The development of a series of four training videos/DVDs focused on Efficacy beliefs, including the language and strategies they need to support both the academic and social- emotional development of their children.  These videos will heighten adult awareness around Efficacy beliefs and practices resulting in increased self-efficacy for the children.

§       Another video/DVD will provide insight for parents and community members regarding the valuable role Efficacy plays in not only fostering the academic achievement but also the social and emotional development of children and adolescents.

§      The videos/DVDs will be produced in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole.  

§       A minimum of 18 community and faith based groups, invited by the Pew Public Education Fund, the Education Commission, and the Children’s Services Council have committed to learning the Efficacy concepts and using the language of Efficacy with the children whom they serve.  The members of these groups will participate in video presentations and television spots.  The organizations will utilize these training DVDs with their clients and constituents.  

§      Broadcasting of the videos on The Education Network, Adelphia Cable Channel 19 and segments will be developed for use on major channels.

§       Efficacy messages will be displayed on Billboards, Tri-Rail cars, and Palm Tran buses.

§       The effectiveness of the grant will be measured as follows:

o        Workshop participants will complete pre and post assessments for each presentation.  Knowledge and understanding of the concepts can be assessed through these surveys.

o        Parent surveys will be conducted to gauge parents’ ability to demonstrate their efficacy using newly learned strategies with their own children.

o        By the quality of final products and by public recognition.
