Summative Quotes:

Mentoring/Shadowing: “I think one of the things that was the best for me was we were able to actually go out with someone who had done recruitment, and shadow... that was very, very helpful. And that is one thing that I like about our program, is that we do shadowing and modeling.”(20/p.13)

Summative Quotes:

Uniqueness of Community Limits the Value of Formal Training: "Because things are so unique in the different communities, that I'm not sure that what works in one area would work here."(04/p.11)

Personality More Imprtant than Training: “ Now, for me, training is fine and it gives you a format, but when you get out there working with families, you can’t use a book with families”... “it’s not all about books or training”... “You’ve got to know how to deal with people.” (30/p.18)
