Workshop Materials

The information provided below references materials that all Growth Readiness trainers should have received at their initial training. However, these documents are provided here as a backup library. Click on the document you would like to access.

Workshop Forms

Registration Form
Use this form to keep track of people registered for your workshop. You can also set this out at promotional events when soliciting participants..

Attendance Sheet *
All Growth Readiness trainers are expected to keep a record of those they have trained in order to document grant match and in-service credits. This form provides a standard means of recording and reporting attendance at workshops. Do not forget to include the date, location, start time, and end time.

Participant Evaluation Form *
All trainers should use this Evaluation Form to seek feedback on the job they are doing.

In-kind Match Form *
This project is funded in part by a Section 319(h) Nonpoint Source Grant. Therefore, this form is required for documenting time and resources that are used for this project. You should include your time for preparing the workshop, travel time to and from the workshop, the workshop time itself, and any materials or supplies you or others provide to make the events happen.

Forward the completed Attendance Sheet, Evaluation Form, and In-Kind Match Form to the CWEP Coordinator:

Workshop Materials

Growth Readiness Leave-Behind
You can use this "flyer," either in person or by mail, to promote the Growth Readiness training.

Fact Sheet
This 16-page handout provides a nice summary of land use and water quality. It covers the basics of what a watershed is, issues related to impervious cover, types of pollutants and their sources, and basic actions a community can take to protect and restore its watershed.

Support Materials

Inquiry Letters
This is a set of introductory letters that allow a trainer to introduce him or herself and the Growth Readiness training materials. There are template letters for various audiences.

Growth Readiness and Phase II Stormwater Permittee Guidance
This project is funded by a Section 319(h) Nonpoint Source grant; therefore, Growth Readiness has limitations in how the money can be used to support permitted activities. This document provides guidance to Growth Readiness trainers about what can and cannot be financially supported.

Local Watershed Planning Options
After a city has been exposed to the basic Growth Readiness training content, city officials might choose to take action in the community, but might not know the next steps to take. This document provides a list of support options.

Basin Coordinator Contact Information
If you, as a trainer or city official, need additional technical support, you will find that a state wide network of Basin Coordinators is a good resource. Most of the coordinators are state employees, whose job it is to help communities and watershed groups find resources and support to protect and restore their watersheds.
