This describes any exercises associated with the <br />module, session, or lesson. <br /> <br />h. Evaluation Strategy. This defines the strategy to used to evaluate the module, <br />session, or lesson (e.g., written and/or performance tests or assessments). <br /> <br />For further information on developing courses using the instructional design methodology and <br />tools that can facilitate the process, SAAs and TPOCs are encouraged to review the G&T <br />Strategy for Blended Learning and access the responder training development system available at <br />www.firstrcspondertraining. gov. <br /> <br />Several broad categories of courses will automatically qualify for support using G&T funds and <br />as they become identified will be included in the list of approved training not provided by G&T. <br />Examples of these broad categories are: <br /> <br />1. All NIMS training approved by the NIMS Integration Center (NIC). <br /> <br />2. All Incident Command System (ICS) training offered through the National Fire Academy <br />(NFA) and the Emergency Management Institute (EMI). <br /> <br />G&T funds must be used to supplement, not supplant, existing funds that have been appropriated <br />for the same purpose. G&T will conduct periodic reviews of all State, Territory, and Urban Area <br />training funded by G&T. These reviews may include requests for all course materials (POVTSP) <br />and physical observation of, or participation in, the funded training. If these reviews determine <br />that courses are outside the scope of this guidance, grantees will be asked to repay grants funds <br />expended in support of those efforts. <br /> <br />Training conducted with G&T support must demonstrate linkage to a Target Capability and be <br />applicable to the State, Territory, Urban Area, or homeland security strategy. <br /> <br />States and territories are encouraged to conduct an annual Training and Exercise Plan Workshop <br />to identify key priorities and major events over a multi-year time frame and align training and <br />exercises in support of those priorities. A Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan will be <br />produced from a Training and Exercise Plan Workshop to include the State's training and <br />exercise priorities, associated training and exercise capabilities, and a multi-year training and <br />exercise schedule. Further guidance concerning the Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan can be <br />found the exercises discussion in section D.S. <br /> <br />Office of Grants and Training Cooperative Training Outreach Program (CO-OP) <br />New to this year's HSGP is the G&T Cooperative Training Outreach Program (CO-OP), which <br />is a voluntary program designed to increase flexibility for States and Territories while enhancing <br />G&T's training delivery capability and complementing the current Training Partner pool. <br />Funding from previous fiscal years Dl.lIX be used to support a State, Territory, or Urban Area's <br />implementation of this program. <br /> <br />Through the CO-OP, the SAA will have the authority to adopt various G&T sponsored and <br />certified programs for delivery by institutions within their State and local jurisdictions, and <br /> <br />PREPAREDNESS D1RECTORA TE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />40 <br /> <br />
