DCL NSF INCLUDES Workshop: High-Leverage Problems, Useful Data, Formative Evaluation, Effective Communication

SRI国际和卡内基教学促进基金会将联合领导一个研讨会，其双重目标是在第一年支持包括（在工程和科学多样性方面代表性不足的全国学习者社区的包容性）启动试点，并为国家骨干计划做出贡献。该研讨会将加强和深化在包括网络内部和之间快速、持续改进周期的潜力。为此，他们将把SRI和Carnegie在改进科学、快速分析和培养研究人员和实践者网络方面的专业知识结合起来，让参与者参与在INCLUDES Launch Pilots内部和之间进行一个完整的改进周期。讲习班将分为三个阶段。第一阶段是在线进行的，将分享与完整改进周期的四个部分相关的专业知识：(1)问题定义，(2)数据收集，(3)形成性评估，以及(4)有效沟通。第一阶段将结合一个初步的演示和便利的在线机会，以互动的方式参与主题。第二阶段面对面进行，将与来自包括网络的团队密切合作，以改进其运营和长期计划。第三阶段将反映和报告讲习班的情况，并为国家骨干组织的能力建设提出计划。通过这三个阶段的结合，他们将支持包容性团队第一年的工作，并完善对国家网络如何结合在线和面对面元素来推进包容性工作的理解。研讨会团队将创建并传播对INCLUDES和相关项目立即有用的资源，并且研讨会将公开地与其他研讨会协调以实现协同作用。在线服务将是开放的，广泛宣传，并永久可用。将广泛传播有关国家骨干计划的经验教训。除了来自包容性网络的参与者外，还将邀请其他利益相关者参与这两个阶段，以便制定未来计划，实现与包容性总体目标一致的更广泛影响。

SRI International and the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching will jointly lead a workshop with the dual goals of supporting INCLUDES ((Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners that have been Underrepresented for Diversity in Engineering and Science) Launch Pilots during their first year and contributing to plans for a National Backbone. The workshop will strengthen and deepen the potential for rapid, continuous improvement cycles within and across INCLUDES networks. To do so, they will combine the expertise of SRI and Carnegie in improvement science, rapid analytics, and fostering networks of researchers and practitioners to engage participants in conducting a complete improvement cycle within and across INCLUDES Launch Pilots.The workshop will have three phases. A first phase, conducted online, will share expertise related to each of the four parts of a complete improvement cycle: (1) problem definition, (2) data collection, (3) formative evaluation, and (4) effective communication. This first phase will combine an initial presentation with facilitated, online opportunities to interactively engage in the topics. A second phase, conducted face-to-face, will work intensively with teams from INCLUDES networks to improve their operational and long-term plans. The third phase will reflect and report on the workshop and contribute plans to build capacities for the National Backbone organization. Through the combination of these three phases, they will support the first-year work of INCLUDES teams and also refine understanding of how a national network could combine online and face-to-face elements to advance INCLUDES efforts. The workshop team will create and disseminate resources that are immediately useful to INCLUDES and related projects, and the workshop will openly coordinate with other workshops to achieve synergies. The online offerings will be open, broadly advertised, and permanently available. The lessons learned regarding plans for a national backbone will be disseminated broadly. In addition to participants from INCLUDES networks, additional stakeholders will be invited to both phases so as to shape the future plans to achieve broader impacts aligned with overall INCLUDES goals.
