Unifying Resistance Management Webinar Series As part of NE-SARE Professional Development Grant Program (ENE15-140-29994), we are offering a series of 4 webinars (Mondays and Thursdays for 2 consecutive weeks) on aspects of Resistance Management (RM). All webinars will be held for 1 hour, from 2:30-3:30 pm, EST. Here is the "Train-the Trainer" webinar series: Monday, Nov. 30: Overview of RM (Dr. Meg McGrath, Cornell) Target Audience: Northeastern Extension Personnel, IPM scouts, ag suppliers, chemical technical representatives, and other related industry personnel, but anyone interested in improving their expertise for teaching RM concepts is welcome! Why are we doing this? Educators have various levels of knowledge relating to RM. Our goal is to bring educators to a common level of knowledge so that we can present a unified educational program to our constituents growing fruits and vegetables in the Northeast. We will help you get started on identifying stakeholder needs regarding RM and provide support for organizing and making your tailored presentations about RM. We plan to survey participants as part of webinar process so we can establish baseline data and assess change after the webinars. We hope a few of you will conduct one-on-one interviews with your growers and with us to determine the impact of this RM educational program. What will you get? After participating in the webinars and the Moodle sessions, you will have the tools to develop crop-specific training modules and materials for delivery to your growers. Highlights: *All interested participants will recieve a core module (PowerPoint Presentation and video) to use as a baseline that can then be adapted to your specific commodity for grower outreach programs. *Participate in Moodle platform education to reinforce what you have learned.
