Tapped In: Evaluating Staff Development
11/01/07
Introduction
At the EDTE 282/283 face-to-face meeting, each group will deliver a 30 minute presentation to the Staff Development Committee (SDC), consisting of a 5 minute overview and a 25 minute illustrative example of the actual training. The audience (cohort members and instructors) play the role of the SDC. The main task of SDC is to evaluate the staff development proposal and to provide written critical feedback for both the proposal and the presentation. The purpose of this assignment is to assist in the development the fundamental concepts of staff development evaluation. Link to Final Project description.

Discussion Objectives
In the facilitator's office, each group member summarizes their assigned reading for the group. Discuss any points that could be used to improve your group's product/presentation.
What do you think are the most important criteria for a successful staff development presentation? List and describe in detail at least five criteria, in priority order, from most important to least important. Are there any modifications that your group will make to your product/presentation based on tonight's discussion?
Again, the purpose of this assignment is to provide you some fundamental ideas. While we may not use or apply all of the guidelines or steps mentioned for final evaluations, these readings provide background information to help guide your thinking as you develop your own presentation and prepare to evaluate the presentations at F2F.
Recorder: writes the summary and posts the group's response to the forum.
