Assistant Director of Training for Curriculum
STAT
1. (briefed the Committee on the June DI panel which
evaluated OTE's analysis training. The panel consisted of DI senior
managers and external consultants, was most positive in his STAT
assessment of the results and benefits of this review of the analysis
training program. The benefits are:
- The curriculum becomes closely tied to the consumer.
- Senior management identifies with the curriculum.
- OTE can better deliver what is needed.
- DI management sees a difference between those who attend analyst
training and those who do not.
- Preparing for the evaluation forced the Analysis Training Branch to
reexamine what their purpose and mission is.
- The staff gained reassurance that senior DI managers had confidence
in them.
The next panel session is scheduled for January. Supervisory training
for DI branch chiefs is the item for discussion. The Management Training
Branch, who is currently conducting an evaluation of their courses, will
participate in this review. The Committee recommended that the June
meeting of the evaluation panel be focused on computer training.
2.I IC/CBTG, was asked to brief the Committee on the
conversion of Room 224. He indicated that the room will be converted in
March 1986 to a microcomputer lab which will be used to deliver
computer-based software. C/LTD indicated that the Language Lab housed
next to Room 224 does not need to expand. After a discussion on the
utilization of Room 224, the Committee approved the conversion. ADC/OTE
raised the decision to purchase three TICCIT computer systems to deliver
the Spanish Survival Program. C/LTD indicated that three additional

terminals may not be required, and he will advise on the exact number
required to do an evaluation. Despite some concern that TICCIT will not
be the system utilized to deliver language training over the long term,
the Committee approved C/CBTG's decision to acquire at least two TICCIT
terminals. OTE will conduct the evaluation of the Spanish Survival and
determine whether or not TICCIT is the preferred delivery system.
3. The Committee reviewed and approved the list of courses under
development during CY 1986. Any additional courses for which a need
arises will be communicated to the Curriculum Committee. Otherwise,
Attachment A represents all the new courses which will be developed this
year.
4. The Committee reviewed and approved the list of proposed
deletions for CY 1986. Attachment B represents those courses which have
been or will be deleted during CY 1986.
5. The Committee reviewed the TSD printout of all OTE course
offerings. As a result, 45 course titles were deleted from the list
either because the course had been cancelled, had never been run, or the
title of the course was changed. The course titles deleted are listed on
Attachment C. At Attachment D is a list of the current courses offered
(160) by OTE.
6. At Attachment E are the lists of courses which will be reviewed
in CY 1986. By 12 December, each unit should provide the dates during
CY 1985 when each of these reviews will be scheduled.
7. The Committee examined the reports submitted on test instruments
used in various OTE courses. There are two instruments which seem to be
over-utilized: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the FIROB. In
secretarial training, the MBTI is utilized in two courses: the EDC and
the MSSAA. The MSSAA also utilizes the FIROB and the Strong-Campbell.
The Committee recommended that C/SACTD remove the MBTI from the EDC. The
MBTI is also utilized in the POCM and the SOA, both of which are
management courses for comparable levels of employees. The major problem
probably lies with utilizing the MBTI in the SOA and later having the
same people attend the POCM. C/ITD and C/LDD will make a recommendation
to the Curriculum Committee regarding the use of this instrument in these
two courses. C/ITD will also review the use of the MBTI in five of the
analyst training programs. There also appears to be overlap between
secretarial training and training assistant courses in the use of the
MBTI. A recommendation will be made by C/ITD regarding from which

courses the MBTI will be removed. FIROB should clearly be used in the
POCM. The ELF, which is also using it, will seek to find a replacement
during the summer of 1986. Finally, it was agreed that the
Strong-Campbell will be removed from the Career Development Course.
8. In the future, no one instrument will be introduced into an OTE
course without prior approval of the OTE Curriculum Committee. In
addition, it was agreed that no one will administer the MBTI without
having been qualified either through education, training, or experience.
9. Committee members were provided a copy of OTE's policy on course
reports. Unless otherwise notified, all courses must be reported on by
15 January using the guidance in OTE Instruction 81-12. The exceptions
are new courses which have been regularly reported on during the year or
courses which were reviewed by the Curriculum Committee during CY 1985.
