Training Notes are a series of monographs which highlight training issues in the field of nonformal education. Based on training designs which have been devised and used by fellows of the Center for International Education in the United States and overseas. The notes discuss significant issues which the authors have encountered in their training experiences.
Papers are selected for the series by virtue of their ability to focus attention on basic themes in training for nonformal education and on the basis of their estimated utility to practitioners.

Methods, Training, & Materials Development
Materials development for village level learning systems is a critical issue in nonformal education. Curriculum development theories provide initial guidance in approaching this issue, but most curriculum theorists are school-oriented. Their values and assumptions are not always sensitive to conditions in nonformal education settings.
This training note emphasizes not only the product of materials development. It also focuses on the role of the outside resource person in catalyzing local initiative to resolve local materials development needs.
