------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone. It is the top of the hour, I am going to have us wait
one or two minutes. Attendees are continuing to join us. We will be
getting started in one or two minutes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am Miranda Kennedy and I am with NDI. I will be the host for today's
Webinar, walking through the One-Stop Toolkit website. We are running
repeat sessions of this Webinar. One on October 29, one today, November
3, to acquaint navigators to the public and private side, the library
resources ava
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our presenters are Chonita Tillmon, who will provide the overview of
public and private side changes to the toolkit. Once she has covered
that information, my fellow training and TA Liaison will be DJ Diamond,
sprucing introducing everyone to the toolkit library, resources you will
all find useful as navigators. We will go into much more depth with the
One-Stop Toolkit library, part of the overview of the navigator website,
holding on November 13 and November 18. There are still spaces available
in these sessions, so sign up if you haven't already. For today we will
get a brief exposure to the toolkit blood pressure loish library resource.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the one stop One-Stop Toolkit -- I want to note you will see closed
captioning in the lower right hand corner of your screen during the
PowerPoint and on the left-hand side of your screen throughout today's
session, as chon it a and DJ share their desktop with you today.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional information on how to access the -- was sent out to
individuals who requested closed captioning for today in an e-mail. The
full transcription will sent out with the archived recording on the
website. If you have technical difficults, call our WebEx support
technician at 1-866-863-3904. They should be able to help you out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once chon it a and DJ compleated the presentation we will have time for
Q&A and I will show you how to raise your hand or submit questions in
the Q&A panel. Until then you will all be on mute.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, with that, I will hand it over to chon it a to get us started. Hello
Chonita.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good afternoon. It's a pleasure to be with everyone today. I have worked
with some of you over the years, and I am sure there are many new faces
out there within the DPN community. I am looking forward to working with
the new or fairly new navigators as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to point out one thing. I am getting over a cough, and
occasionality you may hear silence, because I have had to move away from
the phone, excuse me, in order to deal with my problem with my cough.
Hopefully I won't have to interrupt the presentation too many times, but
I want to apologize for that in advance and ask you to please bear with me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Miranda pointed out, I am the content manager for the One-Stop
Toolkit, serving people with disabilities. Also known as the Toolkit,
how we refer to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The toolkit was developed by DTI associates on behalf of the disability
program, navigator for the navigator grantees. In fact, it was developed
several years ago when the disability unit was developing the work
incentive program, you may be veterans of that program as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of the revamp of the toolkit was to shape the website so it
would be a better resource for you for the DPNs, so it would reflect and
support the current goal and objectives of this program. Essentially,
the website provides accessible and comprehensive tool and information
to you to assist you as you provide services and help individuals with
disabilities find and keep good jobs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the same time, it's also targeted toward the state and locality one
stop service providers and serves as a resource for the general public
as well. As you can see, the One-Stop Toolkit serves a multitude of
purposes and is intended to benefit multiple groups, although the
navigators are the primary audience for the toolkit. There are two sides
of the toolkit, which I will enter in a moment, they are the public and
private sides of the toolkit. The public side is what is accessible by
everyone. What we refer to as the private side of the toolkit is
accessible only by those who are subscribed. Those are typically, always
the navigators and then may include on an invitation alba sis, partners
as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Without further ado, I am now going to initiate the sharing of my
desktop with you, which will enable you to then see the toolkit from my
desktop. Before I get started with the walk through, at this moment you
should be able to see my One-Stop Toolkit as it appears from my browser,
but before I get started with the walk-through I want to quickly
highlight some of the changes we have made
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chonita, sorry to interrupt. I was wondering if you could move over the
captioning a little, we are getting one or two words cut off at the end.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drag it over --
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chonita: I have to make my browser smaller in order to allow more room
for the captioning. How is that? Is that not --
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think it needs to be as wide, sorry folks, want to make sur it's
accessible for everyone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you see the full screen with all the words?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are right, there's some cut-off, but I don't know how else to
accommodate it other than to -- okay, let's see if I pull this over --
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, very helpful. Thank you. You can even make it smaller from that
other side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are going to be having the transcript available, but if we can hook
them up next to each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chonita: The problem is -- okay --
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miranda: Everyone else should be able to see the small sharing button
over in your upper right hand corner of the screen, under view, there's
something called auto fit-so you can auto fit if it's not filling your
screen, click on auto fit and it should be better for everyone else.
Wanted to point that out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chonita: I have to make sure I don't cut off the scroll bar. Otherwise I
will not be able to operate the toolkit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's probably --
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was going to quickly walk through, highlight some of the changes we
have made. We have added a new DPN logo at the top. This is the new
logo, features a pattern within a maze, and up at the top you can see
the rising sun, representing individuals with disabilities as they work
their way, navigate their way through the maze of program and services
for which they may be eligible, on to the rising sun which represents
what everyone wish and hopes for, come is come is a which is a good job
at a good wage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have developed a banner which shows a diverse group of people with
disabilities in various workplaces.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those are just visual changes that we made to the sites. Initially --
additionally, we have also added a search function, I will talk about
that in just a little while. We have added a print function to give you
the printer friendly pages the search function allows for more specific
pages or sections, including the resources of the week.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have reorganized the state and local resources, and state and local
resources by topic so that we can -- we pulled out, separated the DPN
developed resources from the older work [indiscernible] or WIG
resources. I will be talking again more about later in my presentation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also created an archive of selected work incentive grant or wig
profiles so they would be available for historical purposes, people can
understand the program developed that preceded the disability program
navigator initiative. In that way they will understand how it led to the
transformation of the grant program to the current Navigator Initiative.
It was through the work inn centive program that navigator was developed
bisome no native states who may be on the phone right now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later you will see how we have reformatted the toolkit library conform
to the maturity -- -- understand recommendation, guidance for the
structure, placement of each resource within the toolkit library
conforming to the DPN maturity model. You will learn more about that
from staff at the end of the presentation, as well as when they do
another Webinar as Miranda mentioned earlier, going in more depth on the
toolkit library.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another thing we have done is add a template to facilitate consistency
in the way in which documents are uploaded to the library section of the
toolkit. This is to encourage the submission of resources in accessible
format, and also have some kind of consistency in the way the
information or descriptions are presented. It makes it a lot easier for
people to read, find what they are looking for when you have that
consistency, and we always strive to ensure the resources we add to the
toolkit are accessible to everyone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the other things is we added an e-mail tickler, one of those
changes that you won't see, but that e-mail tickler informs those of us
who have toolkit admin rights, such as myself and other NDI staff, to
notify when new documents have been recommended by grantees for
uploading. Those resources must be approved by someone with admin staff
before they are live and available to all subscribers to the pass words
protected private side of the toolkit within the grantee resources. But
additionally, for myself, the tickler alerts me so that I can then go in
and utilize resources and where appropriate, take the resource and add
it to the public side of the toolkit for easy sharing with the -- almost
beneficiaries of the toolkit, being the state and local service
providers, as well as people who work within other organization serving
individuals with disabilities. And I have to be honest, it also is
another way in which we can reach out and educate and market the toolkit
to the public so they understand the great work that the DPNs, you, the
navigators are doing in
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Software crash]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
With that, I will go through a more formal walk through of the toolkit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
First thing I would like to do is demonstrate the use of the search
function. I am going to type in something I might want to finds more
information on. This is technology, for example, when I do that I find
187 likely resources that popped up. When I scroll down I can see a lot
of them are coming from the resources of the week section of the
toolkit. One of the things we have done is enable you to, for example,
if you want, maybe you understand what you are looking for is located
within resource of the week and you don't infact want other
possibilities to pop up from other parts of the tool will kit. However,
there is a chance that instead you would like to search everything and
exclude the resources of the week.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I could click down below where it says excluding resource of the
week, quick search. My screen is looking a little different from -- bear
with me, my screen looks different because I had to shift the appearance
in order to allow room for the captioning.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chonita you can shrink the caption a little, if you want to.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, I hit search all, excluding resource of the week, it
gave me 34 possibilities for assistive technology. Now you have
something more imaginable in which to find something that's maybe likely
to give you what you are looking for in terms of assistive technology.
Maybe you are looking for examples or something like a definition. The
showcase devices, from that link you would actually go to a federal
government website, the GSA center for information technology
accommodation, that would give you examples of -- graphics, actually, of
different types of assistive technology. For those who unaware of what
some of the assistive technology looks like, that's a great place to go
for educational purposes. You have an advanced search, I will show you
some of the items within the advanced search. You can search by tools of
the week, just by resources of the week, maybe by glossary of terms.
Perhaps all you want is something like a definition. Maybe you want
state and local resources that that are examples of assistive
technology. Maybe you want two or three, search tool and resources,
glossary of terms, quick definition and look at examples of state and
local resources. I wanted to give you a picture of the power of the
search function. I will move on, talk a little about the tool and row
sources resources to highlight that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to point out something here we refer to as a crumb trail. If you
go back to the homepage, hit home, your crumb trail, and on every page
you will have this crumb trail that is essentially telling you exactly
where you are and where you have been so you can follow your way back
home or perhaps to a previous page. A couple of other handy links, we
have a small list of other useful sites, [indiscernible].gov, developed
out of the Department of Labor, providing information to people with
disabilities around program and services available. We have one-stop
info, focused around one-stop -- developed by the Department of Labor,
and that's a one-stop online site for everyone regarding employment,
training, looking for work, learning more about the different jobs
available, whether some jobs are growing, whether there are jobs
shrinking, some of the highest paying jobs, what are the requirements,
certifications in order to do certainly types of jobs, there's really a
wealth of nosmgz information on that site.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And there's navigator.net, developmented by NDI for the program
disability navigators and they will be doing a Webinar and you will
learn a lot more about DPN, and the disability online website, which is
the website of this office, the disability unit, within the employment
and training administration of the U.S. Department of Labor. That is our
official website on the Department of Labor web page.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to help you understand what you can finds in each of these
different sections you finds on the right-hand side of your web page,
you click on tool and resources. You can find descriptions and links to
organization that provide information on, guidance, strategies,
interpretation of legal rights, you can find the different types of
assistive technology, for example, related to people with disabilities,
that they may use, for example, in order to do a particular job, in
order to work on the or utilize electronic devices and if you go to
access an accommodation -- customer service, focused on providing
service to people with disabilities. Information technology, where you
find information, materials, resources related to assistive technology.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Employment section, many resources listed that are helpful in terms of
employment of people with disabilities. Related federal live --
initiatives would be where you go to find other -- like ticket to work,
or [indiscernible], for example. Statutes and regulations, if you are
looking for the workforce investment act, the regulations around the
workforce investment act, ADA, for example. Ticket to work, a great
place to go on this, the place to go on this website to find all of
those relevant laws and their regulations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical assistance and training is where you go to provide technical
assistance, training around many of these laws around these issues,
providing services to people with disabilities. Just to give you one
example, to provide an accommodation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the examples you will you find here, we have the ADA and ABA,
accessibility guide guidelines for -- the basic building blocks, I know
some of you have in fact taken or have led the -- provided this online
introductory course to folks around the ADA. You have the ADA game, I
have been told some navigators initiated or facilitated the playing of
this , online game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The community transportation -- many people, navigators, involved
helping meet the transportation needs of people with disabilities,
helping to link them to transportation that gets them to the workplace
and other vital services. I am trying to give you [indiscernible] the
reentry initiative, a presentation for prisoner reinitiative grants. I
know many navigators are involved in prisoner reentry or ex-offender
programs in their communities. I will say this more than one time.
Please feel free to go to the toolkit and to surf around, explore for
yourself the many different tool and resources that you will finds
there. The next place I would like to go is actually to the glossary of
terms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find very relevant terms that most folks need to understand
related to people with disabilities, particularly around going to work.
Definitions for alternative methods, what is the Americans with
disabilities act? What are assistive technologies, auxiliary aids and
services. One thing I would like to suggest is that you go to the
glossary of terms and should you find a term you think should be on the
glossary or within the glossary and you don't find it, please feel free
to send me an e-mail and I would then be able to add that term to the
website. When you make your suggestions, if you could please be sure to
include something like the more formal or official term or definition
for that resource, that would be very helpful to keep this as accurate
as possible. Next I want to go to the state and local resources 26789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you will find reports, check lists, guides, other type of
resources developed by disability program navigators on the one hand,
and previously work incentive grantees. As I memgzed earlier, what we
have done is separated out the resource that's you previously may have
seen joined under state local resources. We didn't want to ignore the
resources developed under the WIGs, there are resources that are helpful
if you want to take something, try to replicate it. What we want to make
sure we do highlight the up to date, current, what you are producing,
the disability navigator program grants. Why you see of course the
disability program navigator link first on the page. Below that you see
the archive of previously funded work incentive grants. We want to make
sure people understand that if they are to click on the archive of
previously funded work incentive grants, they will understand they are
looking at resources, guides that reflect what was developed in the
past. I will go down briefly, here are the states so far. We are
anxiously awaiting your development of additional resources, guides, and
I would love you to send me e-mails soon after this call, some of you
may already have materials you developed that are ready to be shared
with the other navigators across the state, as well as with other
one-stop service providers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an example, California, I won't click on the links, they require
another application be opened. That could be disruptive to this
presentation, since this is live. Just wanted to give you that example,
a flyer mention said in one of the DPN state -- [indiscernible], I
believe, related to California, had developed a flyer advising customers
of their right to choose whether or not to disclose they have a
disability, but it also informs them there are benefits, accommodations
and other assistance available if they do choose to disclose. That was a
great way California developed to advise people of their right and also
to highlight the opportunity that disclosing could present to them if
they chose to do so.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a great way of getting people who may be reticent to disclose, to
there may be benefits to disclosure, not discrimination. Now I will
click on the archive of previously funded work incentive grants and I
want to point out we make it clear when you look at this, when these
grants were funded, when the funding ended, that we administered 113 of
these, but it's clear this is a program that's past. People know when
they look here it's ly for informational reasons, maybe they are curious
about what's done in another state, may be able to take something, work
with it to update, replicate for present circumstances, but it's clear
that the disability program navigator grants are what's current, up to
date and the work incentive grants, while still obviously there's a lot
of value in sharing with the public, they are in fact, past.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I click back on the homepage from the crumb trail, and take you to
state and local resources by topic. What we have done here is organize
the same resources, divide again from disability program navigator
grants, archive of previously funded work incentive grants and developed
topic areas for you, access and accommodation, assessment tools,
employer resources, marketing and outreach. For example, a lot of the
brochures that folks developed might fall under that. If you are sending
these brochures outs to the public in order to do outreach to advise
them of your presence and the services that you provide, you may submit
those to me and I can put them up on the toolkit. Some of you developed
newsletters that are more of a nature that is staff resources and
capacity building. The resources are informing the one-stop staff of
resources that are available in the community that they need to know
about, so they can better serve people with disabilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you see assistive technology, Arizona, Arizona developed an
educational website for and about assistive technology. It was developed
in partnership with the Arizona DPN and Arizona center for the blind and
visually impaired, as well as the northern Arizona university Easter
seals and foundation for blind children. There are many examples on the
toolkit, and I am sure many of you are currently working in partnerships
with others to develop other resources. They are frequently not
developed solely by the disability program navigator, but in that
partnership and by collaborating, which is what you all do so well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know you are very familiar with, the resources of the week, these are
sent out by Laura Glennic who does a phenomenal job providing you with
the latest in terms of information resources developed, grants that may
be available to you, to help you in your work to improve the employment
opportunities for people with disabilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have October 31, the latest resource of the week that went out. You
can visit the resources of the week online, you have the table of
contenths pretty much in a HTML version of what you see in your e-mail
with -- it's tremendous what she packs into resources of the week in a
given week.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the other benefits is reviewing an archive of the past resources
of the week, going all the way back to the development of this toolkit.
You can find any given resource of the resources of the week here online.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also search from here in the resources of the week, by key word
you could enter the name of the grant here under key word, and then that
would pull up the resources of the week that featured that grant
program. You could also submit suggestions for resources of the week. If
you could please insert the URL in that space, that would be terrific,
then Laura can seek to add that to the resources.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You or anyone else, public side of the toolkit, anyone who may benefit
to being a subscriber to resources for the week can add in their row
resources and be subscribed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should you change to a different fields or job, you would like to
unsubscribe, you are able to do that with just a couple clicks hire here
as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here folks can find -- for those unfamiliar, in fact it would be a great
opportunity, you can provide your locally developed information to the
disability program navigator initiative for your state, but you can also
send them to the toolkit so they can learn more, kind of a national
perspective and see some of the national tools or information we provide
related to the disability program navigator initiative.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a FAQ sheet, many of you have developed your own, but you are
free to use the FAQ sheet we developed. Again, I am not going to click
on it because I don't want to have to open other applications which
could then interthe fear with the operation of the website and this
walk-through.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We values values
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have a map that -- updates, as we add styte states to the navigator
community. We have contact information we also provide for people so
that they can find their state on the contact sheet and contact or find
ways to contact individuals associated with the grant in their state.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The nationally developed disability program navigator brochure is
available here as well. I know many of you developed your own brochures
by really replicating and adapting to your own needs from the brochure
that had been developed nationally.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's also got the PowerPoint, integrating the disability perspective and
the wired framework. Many of you attended that Webinar that Randy -- did
a great presentation around the disability perspective and the wired
framework. I know many of you have been involved or intending to be
involved in the wired initiatives in your areas. The next place we would
like to go is to the grantee resources. Bear with me one moment. This is
the password protected space on the toolkit, and the great thing about
this area is that it allows for communication between those, only those
who are subscribed, typically that's you, the disability program
navigators, but also there are those who are invited by you to join, as
well, who are technically not navigators, but people with whom you work
very closely.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am entering my user name, pass words. Before I get in I want to point
out, should you forget your pass words, for example, I make a mistake
you have a link, forgot pass words, there you can enter e-mail address,
and your password will be sent to you, via e-mail.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone here -- anyone on the line, not subscribed, or doesn't
remember password, may have been issued the default user name and
password, misplaced it, not gotten to you. If that happens, you can
contact me, my name and e-mail address is list the right above the
log-in box and I can send you the default information provided for you
or I can get you set up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know who your TA provider is, they can do that as well, from NDI.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the resources we have on this page include, the first thing you
will see is announcement section, and we were advertising that October
was national disability employment month. If someone has a great
suggestion for someone to replace the national disability employment
awareness month, we provided that information and then a throirchght
link to the White House press release. Feel free to send something if
you think you have something the community could benefit by. I can post
it to the announcement section of the toolkit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As much as possible, we would like a lot of the information to come from
you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am clicking on the address book. If you would like to communicate with
-- it's still opening, I will pause a moment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone subscribed, their name is listed here, as well as their grant,
the state, we have several ways in which you can search. You can choose
to search from all, only by disability program initiative. Maybe you are
looking for someone -- whatever reason, for someone who worked under the
WIG. You can choose that as well. Or choose only that as well. You can
choose by region, could be all regions, or a specific region, maybe you
want to communicate with everyone in one particular region. You have
opportunities to search by name, first name, last name, depends.
Sometimes it's what you remember.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you click on someone's name, what you will find is the name of the
grant. If you click as I did, you will finds the name of the grant,
contact information for them, phone numbers, addresses, you will also
find -- when I click a get a page different from yours, why I needed to
click out of it, when I click on that page I get additional information
that then helps me to help them in the event that they have lost their
password. That's why I need to click out of that. Of can get contact
information to help you reach out to those, any of these individuals
subscribed to the private side of the toolkit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will move on to another feature. That would be the new grantee staff.
That enables, for example, for the state leads to add new staff as they
are brought on. As you can see, you've got -- I will pull this over a
little bit. There we go. You can select here for the name of the grant,
agency for workforce innovation, for example, include all of their
contact information, and I am going to come back to one specific piece
of information I need to highlight for you, but I wanted to let you know
this information is what gets populated into the address book. It's all
very nice, quite automatic once the information is loaded in, whether
it's a state lead, loading because they have new staff, or whether it's
Laura or one of the NDI staff people or whether you contact me because
you know you should be subscribed but you don't recall receiving your
user name and password. One of the things that I wanted to point out in
adding new staff to to the address book, there's the position, title,
very important that the right position and title are entered, correspond
to [indiscernible] what is included in this fields. Selections are
navigator, project and -- every time you should do this, even if you
think you know. Every time before you select the one, click what is
this. We developed a prompt, new feature added to clear up confusion on
adding staff to this section. It defines who should be added in this
section, as a navigator, as project manager, that may not be 100% clear.
Who should you be adding as other. A member of the DPN project, but not
a navigator or a state-level representative. Who should be added as
project manager, any staff member who should receive correspond elses at
state-level, the listserv [indiscernible] for example. Always look their
before you add any names. If you are not sure, probably better to defer
to myself or to your ND irks TA staff contact, to Laura, and we will
make sure we get the right things in the right fields. After you add
everything, simply hit save.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you made a mistake and that person shouldn't be going in there, all
the information is wrong, before you click out of it, simply hit cancel.
In order to save, hit save, it's at the bottom, lower left hand corner
of the screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving on to the archive, all previously funded grantees, not only work
incentive grants, but all the way back to disability program -- excuse
me, disability employment grantees, the old technology initiative for
people with disabilities grantees, and the work incentive grantees. In
this section you find the descriptions for each of them. Once you click
on them, you will get an archive that gives you an archive of project
summaries, as well as contact information. Contact information obviously
won't be relevant today, but you at least -- what's solid, get the
project information, program, brief program description and you get the
name of someone who worked on that particular grant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's for informational purposes, we thought it best to share that
version for you on the pass words protected side of the toolkit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have suggestions you can include them here, include them in the
feedback section, and hit send, and I will get a copy of that, be able
to respond accordingly. Please provide as much detail as you can so that
I can continue to add and build on this website and to build from your
own experiences and knowledge.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have a log-out section so that if you should -- when you have
completed your work on the toolkit, since this is a pass words protected
site, you would log out after finishing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do still center those other areas I want to share with you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This represented about the biggest change to the toolkit, the most
dramatic change to the function of the toolkit, I wanted to point out we
have an edit profile, and should some of your contact information
change, for example, if you should get married or your location, address
should change, telephone numbers, any of that, you can change your
information here, and then just to make sure indeeds you changing or
revising information you type in your user name, password, retype it for
verification and hit save, then it will automatically update everything,
automatically updates the address book.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's something you are seeing here you won't find on your own -- when
you look at the toolkit from your browser, that is admin tool and those
of us who have admin privileges have available so we can better support
you. That's typical of anyone who is managing a website. I didn't want
you to be confused about why you didn't see it on your site.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down below is archives of selected work incentive program profiles. We
previously developed a few profiles that gave people a picture of some
of the work that grantees had done in the past under the work incentive
grant. So I will click on one example, being Alaska. They gave you a
description, then it delved into what they sought to accomplish under
that grant. Each of them will give you -- each profile will give you
goals, methods, how they thought to expand sufficient services to people
with disabilities, and then what they were doing to attract employers,
for example. To work with the employers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What were other aspects of the grant that were note worthy. Comaft
building, for example, rerchls guide development. So much, leveraging
grant funds, so much of that sounds familiar to us all, what the program
navigators are doing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, that really takes us to the end of my exploration with you,
resources located on the one stop upon toolkit, the private or public
side. I am basically going to close out and facilitate transferring this
back over so the NDI staff are controlling. As you develop things for
your system I ask you share them with me so I can put those up on the
public side of the toolkit, share them with the nave Gators across the
country, your partners within the one-stop career center system.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a real pleasure sharing the re-vamped toolkit with you. For
some of you it may be the first time on the toolkit, for some of you,
you may be very familiar with the older version and I hope I have gotten
you a little excited about what you will find on this re-vamped toolkit.
I encourage everyone to take the toolkit for a spin, then contact me as
you develop new resources and contact me as you consider items that
would like to see included on the toolkit. Thank you very much for the
privilege, and now I am going to end sharing my desktop, turn it back
over to ND irks staff.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you. Just click on the sharing button --
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks. This is DJ Diamond, I would like to thank Chonita for that
thorough overview of the one-stop toolkit. For many of you who maybe
don't have as much exposure to the toolkit that was probably very helpful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I will go ahead and share my desktop. Bear with me for a minute
while we get that up and running.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Chonita mentioned, we will talk about the library, and I will give a
very brief overview so you can take a look, understand the new structure
and, as Miranda mentioned, we will be doing a much more in-depth
overview of the library on the DP navigator.net website Webinar, coming
later this month, November 13 and 18. If you have not signed up for one
of those days, please ensure you do so, that will provide a much better
overview of the toolkit library.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I will log in, click on grantee resources, I will select the
library, you notice, Chonita showed falls under resources, I selected
library. Now, Chonita alluded that we decided to, as a national
assistance training team structure this library on the implementation
maturity model. Because we know many of you requested information about
the maturity model. Many of your state leads learned about it in July of
2007 and we have subsequently provided additional resources,
specifically some things that we covered in the first part of the new
navigator series this past August, and if you did not participate in
that please, we encourage to you access that. Many of thely resources
have to do with the maturity model itself, as well as additional
resources and we really talk about the model serving as a roadmap for
DPNs in ways to improve the entire system you work within, within the
workforce investment system.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, as we look at this main page, you will notice that there are four
main categories under the alt resources, first category is top DPN
maturity resources. We chose this to highlight some of the more
selective resources we as a team and that team encompassing the national
provider and DPN program office thought were exemplary in promoting the
model and the vision and implementation of these DPN projects.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next category is navigator resources and these will include,
actually, all of the top DPN maturity model resources as well as -- and
we did that on purpose, because we wanted people to find things in as
many places as possible. We didn't want people to have to remember, be
very specific about oh, where was that resource, I can't remember. We
tried to do a lot of cross-over there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next category is state lead resources. I know there are a couple of
state leads on this call. For those of you that are, we strongly
encourage you to take a look at this section. I will go into more detail.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last section is archive, a compilation of resources that come from
probably back in the days of late WIG grants, ecial DPN grants, early.
You know the DPN initiative evolved greatly since its inception in 2003,
we chose to archive some of the grants that presented the mission and
vision but are some outdated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing, I will click on maturity resources, will take us to a
new page. You notice as we scroll down there's another sub-set of
categories. For many of you, if not all of you, this sub-set of
categories should look very familiar. These are the categories that were
identified within the implementation maturity model, the first being
expertise, which pertains to the knowledge of the staff within the
one-stop career center, persons with disabilities, those issues,
accessibility, pretty self-explanatory, really looking at accessibility
in terms of physical, programmatic and attitude nail -- resources to do
with that, problem-solving, the degree to which one stop career centers
focus on the needs of customers with disabilities, and the sphere of
influence, how the One-Stop centers are perceived in the eyes of the
communities as it relates to employment issues for people with
disabilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, you will notice, there's a lot of cross-over between some of
these categories. Oftentimes we would finds a resource may fit very well
under [indiscernible] but might also fit in the accessibility category
and the problem-solving category, or maybe we have source that fits
within -- and also in the problem-solving category. We did, you will
notice there's duplication within the areas, but again, this was with
the intent of making it easier for navigators to find and navigate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To give you a quick idea of what the pages look like once you select a
topic heading, I will click on disability expertise. Once we do that you
notice it brings up a list, at the top it talks about a search category
I will talk more about in a minute. You have the crumb trail at the very
top, home, library, top DPN maturity issues and expertise category. The
DTI did a good job of putting category and sub-category to help you
remember where you are within the library, also indicateses the number
of records found within this category. The very first thing is 2002
leadership challenges on employment policy. Just a quick note. Notice
this needs to be updated, refers people back to the disability URL law
site which no longer is hosting this, no longer the TA provider. These
type of videos and conference links will be available soon on the
website we talked about earlier, having the upcoming Webinar on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you choose to look at a resource, for example, here's a PowerPoint
developed by Jimmy Weber, day in the life of a navigator. To be able to
click, access the resource, you click on the blue link that says
PowerPoint, opens a box which will allow you to open the resource. Same
thing with here's a list of acronyms. We all know many of us talk in
acronyms in this business, it's helpful to have that list. The one-page
map, flow chart, adults with disabilities -- an array of different
resources within this topic. That is the truth for all of these topics.
I will use the bread trail to go back to the top maturity model
resources, takes us to the second page with the sub-set structure of the
four categories on implementation maturity model and I am going back,
back button on browse browser to go back one more -- and back to the
main page. I won't go to navigator are resources in the interest of
time, but that category looks very much the same in terms of the
substructure, once you click on resources you will have those four main
categories. Disability expertise, problem solving -- and beyond that
looks very much the same.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quickly I want to look at state lead resources, it brings you to that
sub-set structure of categories. It does have the four same categories
that fall within the implementation maturity model, but also a tiew
other things, specifically for state leads, DPN state overview. Overview
of projects, navigator contact charts, handy for navigators which you
wish to contact charts for nave Gators to other states to reach out,
state lead contact chart.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has memorandums from the national office, this is a pass words
protected site. We can keep the memorandum from the national office here
and it's a grates place for state leads to go when there's been a 10 or
a [indiscernible] sent out. Finally, state lead orientation and training
materials, the four-hour local navigator orientation template and other
things developed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One last thing I want to touch on is the search function, within the
library, works the same way. You need to get into one of those
substructure categories, like disability expertise. Once you click on
that you notice there's a search box and you could enter in anything you
want, like say, frequently asked questions. Choose to search. I am in
that category, it will search that category for you. We have one thing
that popped up, DPN FAQs. That's something to remember about the search
function. You need to be within a category to actually utilize if. Keep
that in mind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know we are running short on time so I am going to cut this short so
we can turn this back over to Miranda and allow her to open up the lines
for questions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miranda: Great, thank you DJ. I will open it up for questions, answers.
I will let you know that if you have a question you can click on -- the
raised-hand icon, a mitton, or hand, on your right-hand side of the tool
bar. If you have a question you can raise your hand and we will click on
that, unmute your line, you can ask Chonita or any of us your question,
comment, love to hear how you have been using the toolkit, what you
think of the newly-revised toolkit. And you can put a question on the
tool bar as well. I will open that to have a look at that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the meantime, while you are thinking up questions, we covered a lot
of information. The thing I am most excited about is the fact that we
can really search it in a way we haven't before. Chonita, D jerks, do
you want to comment on that? The fact it's now a searchable site make
its so useful. It opens a lot of possibilities and I think the ease of
access is incredible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chonita: I wanted to say thanks for that Miranda. I am really excited
about the fact that it's searchable and folks will find that very handy,
easy to use. I like the fact we have the advanced search capabilities so
that you can fine-tune your search, which will make it a more useful
search to you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like we have a question. Carol, I will unmute your line, if you
could let us know what state you are calling in from?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caicial: Calling from Sunnyside, Washington, I have had the pleasure of
attending other Webinars, they are very informative. But thank you for
taking the time to go over this. I can see where I am going to use it on
a daily basis. I am so grateful. This has been very helpful. I am a DPN,
did not quite know what I was doing when I started, the toolkit is
saving my life, so thank you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are so glad to hear that. That's good news. Good to know it's useful
and the other trainings as well, you are in the same boat other
navigators were in when they started, Carol.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
With three DPN projects, like Washington, being able to learn so much in
rounds one and two, contributed heavily to the resources on the public
and private side and the library, the thing is, as round three project
there's room, looking forward to seeing what you have to contribute. As
you build off of -- Chonita and DJ can back me up, rip off and
duplicate, no need to reinvent the wheel, build on the base others
created for you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carol: You bet. Thank you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chonita: I think you captured it perfectly, Miranda. Carol, I am glad to
hear you are finding or going to find this a useful tool. That makes me
feel great. Also looking forward to receiving resource and input from
you as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carol: Thank you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appreciate your comment, Carol.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see in the chat, mattie said, mattie Miller, thank you, this is very
helpful, new navigator also, very valuable, great resource.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to see if there were questions or answers here. DJ, could you
look at Question and Answer, if I do that it reduces my media viewer.
Questions coming across there?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We had a comment from Patricia earlier about a new way to possibly
cascade our windows in terms of using the website and closed captioning.
We will look into that for future notice, and appreciate your comment
about that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always looking forward to getting technical assistance from navigators,
as well as providing it to them. Doesn't look like we have anyone else
with questions, must be attributed to the fact Chonita and DJ you gave a
thorough overview and people are processing through the information,
thinking about how they are going to use this in the future.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am really excited about it. I think it's going to be so much more
useable. We did that resource when we did the Webinar with the navigator
resource librarian. This wasn't up and running yet. Now navigators can
be much better resource librarians, using the search function, service
of the week, fellow navigator's contributions to the library. Opens up a
million possibilities. And it will be faster for them to search.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All right. Are there any other questions? Anyone out there? Any comments?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the time, we have Chonita and DJ on the line, but we will be
doing the navigator.net website on the 13th and 18th and there's space
available in the sessions if you haven't signed up. We will go into much
more depth with the One-Stop Toolkit library, we want you to be
contributing, we will share very specific resources that we are really
excited about, giving you a sample of those, whetting your whistle, and
you will see the work your fellow navigators across the country have
been doing, some of the contributions you yourself have made in terms of
newsletters you have written, materials, training materials, so on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's see -- I see that Heidi has asked when is this coming up? I assume
you are talking about the navigator.net training. It's November 13 and
18. An e-mail went out last Monday.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone has a question, I will put down here, for further information,
this is Chonita's and DJ's contact information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DJ: Feel free, if you need me to resend the invitation, get in contact
and I will get that out to you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will also send out, after morning we will accepted on the listserv,
via the One-Stop Toolkit, one of the admin functions Chonita shared, we
have access to, we will send out information, the web and audio
recording of this session, the materials that went with it, and the
transcript. So, this will be going out on that as well and you can
responded to that e-mail if you have questions about upupon coming
Webinars or anything like that. We are always looking for your feedback,
suggestions. Since it doesn't look like we have more people who would
like to comment or speak up on the call, I am going to go ahead and wrap
up the call today, give a big thank you to Chan Chonita and DJ for the
hard work. The public and private side of the toolkit, so much more user
friendly. There was a great deal of information on it before, now it's
easier to access, thank you to Chonita and your team, and DJ for leading
up on the [indiscernible] side, thank you very much, and we are here if
you have more questions, and thank you all to all of you for your hard
work and contraction contributions, that's what has meat it what made it
what it is. Keep up the good work, we look forward to your participation
owe upcoming Webinars. I will wrap it up, hope you have a lovely rest of
your Monday.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you, bye-bye.
