What Assistance Might They Need?
Module 3 Level 1
What services do you think might benefit the families described in the following slides ?
Materials
Copy of the National ID&R Manual, Appendix II: Resources and Partnerships for reference as you work through discussions on following slides.
Trainer's Notes
Refer participants to each of the following 3 slides, of a fictional migratory family. For each, ask them to spend a few minutes reading the description and thinking about what types of community services, other than the ones its migrant department might provide, the family might benefit from.
Have participants record the services in their Outline
After discussion is over, advance to the next description and repeat.
Participants will create an extensive list of services during another activity—this one is intended only to stimulate the discussion.
Talking Point
As discussed in Module 2, recruiters often have responsibilities beyond ID&R. Migratory families often rely on recruiters to help them navigate the unfamiliar, and sometimes unfriendly, environment that families might encounter in a new community. In this module, we will explore resources that may benefit families in your state.

Your Role As an ”Advocate”

Advocate: Someone who acts or intercedes on behalf of another.
Trainer's Notes
Remind participants that one of the many roles of the recruiter is that of an advocate for the migratory family.
Ask what it means to be an advocate for someone, and have participants record in their Outline allow for responses, then click to display one meaning of the word.
Tell participants they will now engage in a brief activity to allow them to think about all the local, state, and federal resources available in their communities to assist families, in particular, those who are migratory.

Trainer’s Resource Materials
Local, State, and Federal Services: Carousel
Module 3 Level 1
Each group is assigned to start at one chart paper.
Brainstorm all services provided at either the local, state, or federal level for that category.
Move to the next chart when time is called.
Materials
Seven sheets of chart paper, each labeled with one of the following: Child Care, Health Care, Housing, Jobs, Education, Food, Other
Markers
Trainer's Notes
Divide participants into seven groups. If you have under 14 participants, you may decide to group categories together.
Click to display directions and review with participants.
Participants are to take a couple of minutes to list as many services as they can for their category. The services can be either local, state, or federal.
After a few minutes, have participants move to the next chart paper.
Continue until participants have visited all seven chart papers.
Have participants return to their original chart papers.
Responses will depend on what services are available locally and in participants’ states. Examples of some federal/national services could include HEP, CAMP, NSLP, NMSHA, NCFH, NFJP.
Note that some national centers may have affiliates at the state and local levels.

Module 3 Level 1
Local, State, and Federal Services: Carousel Debrief
Did you list all resources available?
For those you did not list on the chart paper, do you see a need for the service by the migratory families you work with?
Materials
A printed list of local, state, and federal services available for migratory families, one copy per participant. Make sure the list includes information about the program, not just the name. If a hard copy is not practical, provide a list of web resources or schedule the session in a computer lab and allow time for participants to search for resources in their area, facilitating as needed.
Sample of Federal and National Services, in the Trainer’s Resource Materials. Print a copy as a reference, if desired. A Sample of State and Local Services template is included on p. 5; record some key resources at these levels.
Trainer's Notes
Provide all participants with the state and local lists created and the Sample of Federal and National Services. Ask them to compare the list they developed to actual services that can be provided.
Discuss the questions on the slide with the group.
Refer participants to the National ID&R Manual, Appendix II: Resources and Partnerships for additional resources, and give them a minute to scan the resources.

13. Using What You’ve Learned
Trainer’s Resource Materials
Using What You’ve Learned
Module 3 Level 1
A recruiter should ensure knowledge of the services available, including
providing a description of each service and how they can help the family;
describing how a family may qualify for each service;
giving up-to-date contact information; and
sharing locations.
Trainer's Notes
Tell participants that knowing what services are available for their families is the first step. Now, they will spend some time talking about what to do with that knowledge.
Click to display talking points on the slide. Facilitate discussions that occur, including where participants may find this information.
Remind participants to take notes in their Outline (p. 2).

14. Using What You’ve Learned
Trainer’s Resource Materials
Using What You’ve Learned
Module 3 Level 1
A recruiter should develop a means for getting the information to families.
How do you share information?
What do you need to remember when communicating this information to families?
Trainer's Notes
Facilitate discussion of how participants currently share information about services available. Check for guidance in the state manual, if desired. Encourage participants to record any suggestions they may wish to implement on their Outline (p. 2).
Discussion Points
How do you share information?
Is a brochure provided to each family listing all available services alphabetically or by category?
Let participants know that a sample brochure can be found in the National ID&R Manual, Appendix IV if the state does not have its own.
Do you leave contact info only for a specific organization when you are meeting with a family, so as not to bombard them with too many organizations at one time?
Do you direct families to contact your office when a need arises?
What do I need to remember when communicating this information to families?
Use commonly used words and terms.
Connect the program services to the needs of the family.
Know the details of the program and communicate them well. Is there a cost involved? If so, how much?
Assure families that personal information will be kept confidential.

Read each family situation.
Use your lists of local, state, and federal services to determine which might meet the needs of the family; record.
Compare your responses with your table group.
Materials
Families in Need, p. 6 in Trainer’s Resource Materials, one copy per participant
Trainer's Notes
Tell participants that they will now practice assisting families in need of outside services.
Give p. 6 to participants and read through the directions on the slide. Make sure participants understand the task. Remind them that there is not a single correct plan for each family and that their answers do not have to match those of their tablemates.

Families in Need, Part 2
Module 3 Level 1
Stand up.
Select a partner from another table; take your Families in Need page with you.
Determine who will be the parent and who will be the recruiter.
Recruiter: Select one organization you listed that you’re not too familiar with and spend a few minutes reading about it.
Recruiter will explain the organization to the parent, who has no knowledge of it.
Parent will provide feedback to the recruiter.
Materials
Participants should have their lists of local, state, and federal services available to use during this activity.
Trainer's Notes
Tell participants they will now spend some time familiarizing themselves with the services available in their areas.
Participants will role-play explaining one of the services they listed on the Families in Need, Part 1 page to a family out in the field.
Click to display the first two bullets. Review the directions and allow participants to meet with their partners. Click to display the next bullet. Once roles have been determined, display the last bullets and review.
Make sure all participants clearly understand their roles.
Actively monitor pairs as participants role-play.
If a participant already has a good understanding of all the services/organizations he or she listed for the families, assign an organization that the participant is less familiar with. This will allow him or her to leave the training with a broader knowledge of what is available to families.
