NEW DIRECTORS ORIENTATION TUTORIAL

The New Directors Orientation Tutorial is made up of 14 self-paced modules to assist in learning basic program requirements. Each module includes a powerpoint to give an overview and several attachments to further understanding of the module topic, apply federal requirements to state-specific practices, and assist in program planning and improvement. Each module is designed to be utilized based on a Director’s specific needs; there is not a set sequence for the tutorial to be completed. We encourage Directors to jump to the module that best fits their needs. Directors are also encouraged to reach out to their OME Program Officer if they have any questions as they are utilizing the tutorial.
