Study investigates effective practices in Extension agents, suggesting ways to enhance staff selection and support.
Excellence...the cry of the 80s!But how is excellence found in the performance of Extension agents?For example, what's unique about how outstanding county level faculty do their jobs?Do these people approach their work in special ways that are likely to make what they do particularly effective?And, is it possible to use what we learn about the practice of excellent professionals to select new staff more wisely and to provide better support and instruction to those already in the system?These were some of the questions that guided a recent study of competent Extension professionals in Wisconsin.
