    The US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Westinghouse Electric Company
    of CBS, Inc. announce the availability of the Training and Educational
    Leader Self Assessment (TELSA) tool to US educational institutions,
    businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and
    individual citizens at no charge to recipients. TELSA is designed to
    systematically identify the development needs of training and
    educational leaders including: training managers; organizational and
    human resource development (OD and HRD) managers; school principals;
    department chairs; academic deans; and instructional team leaders. In
    addition, the tool should be helpful to those who are candidates for
    training and educational leadership positions.

    TELSA contains instructions, a 180-task self survey, interpretation
    information, and reading lists covering 10 duty areas. This is a
    complete, turnkey package that can be administered without modification.
    TELSA employs a streamlined version of the DIF
    (Difficulty-Importance-Frequency) job analysis model. Areas covered
    include:

    -- Leading instructional analysis, design, development, implementation
    and evaluation
    -- Staff development
    -- Learner-related administrative duties
