Notes from February 21 Planning meeting

Before meeting:

  • webinar to introduce InTeGrate, materials development goals, rubric and high level of process
Meeting:
  • new teams arrive on Sunday
  • assessment team arrives Monday noon
  • assessment consulting tuesday PM- Wednesday AM-- this is competing with their ability to move forward with data analysis needed for end of week; also there aren't enough of them to go around so we need to be careful with scheduling consulting appointments
  • Tuesday noon - old teams arrive
  • Tuesday 4:00 - old team led plenary with advice to new teams followed by dinner
  • Wed 10:00 - speed dating -- new team members have a chance to talk to several old team members
  • Wed 12:00 new teams depart
  • Thursday PM -- assessment team done?
  • Friday 12:00 - old teams depart
Goals:
  • new teams: leave with plan for completion of module/course including timeline, communication plan, and who is responsible for what; have experience with CMS;have had first substantive feedback with assessment consultant and worked with webteam member.
  • old teams: leave with approved plan for 'finishing' module including checklist and responsibilities.
  • assessment team: complete data analysis for existing data and consult with old teams; analyze gle data and make decisions on any needed changes in GLE.; have plan for working with essay data
Next steps:
  • identify new teams, assign to assessment consultants, schedule consulting slots
  • understand what final acceptance looks like and create general checklist
  • plan opening webinar
  • create agendas for 5 individual meetings
  • check with evaluation about their needs.

*Need to recruit new assessment members...

Before:

  • Assessment data

    • Analyzed (before and during meeting)
      • Look at GLE and decide what to do with questions that need to be changed
    • Summarized for groups (what was learned from analysis)
  • 2012 teams reflect on their own data

During:

Tuesday: Assessment group will likely need time alone to:

  • Revise GLE as needed (based on pre-meeting analysis)- finish before end of meeting
  • Look at any last min assessments

Wednesday morning: New Teams (on the order of 11-13 new teams - 3-5 for Anne, 4 for David M, 4 for David G)

  • By this point in the schedule, teams should have draft learning objectives and ideas of how to assess these objectives- this will lead to a productive conversation with the assessment consultants
  • How will we introduce new members to assessment consultants?
    • Team members could read through the rubric pre-meeting
    • Discuss how assessments will be collected and analyzed in pre-meeting webinar
  • Time with assessment consultants- small groups (2 hours)
    • Get to know
    • Learn about the assessment process
  • Presentation of the data collection stream (mechanics)- whole group session

For 2012 teams:

  • 2012 teams reflect on their own data
    • Think about what they know about what worked
  • They need to know what action items are necessary to complete modules
    • We need a general checklist, then groups would need to plan a more specific list
      • case studies
      • dealing with pieces of curriculum that don't work
      • finishing student materials
    • Teams need to produce a plan and have plan accepted before they leave their meeting
      • specific team member assignments of who will work on pieces
