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

SRI国际和卡内基促进教学基金会将共同领导一个研讨会，其双重目标是支持(在全国范围内纳入因工程和科学多样性而代表性不足的学习者社区)在第一年启动试点并为国家骨干计划做出贡献。讲习班将加强和深化在包括网络内部和跨网络的快速、持续改进周期的潜力。为此，他们将结合SRI和卡内基在改进科学、快速分析和培养研究人员和从业人员网络方面的专业知识，让参与者在包括发射试点在内的各个领域进行完整的改进周期。第一阶段在网上进行，将分享与一个完整改进周期的四个部分中的每一个部分有关的专门知识：(1)问题定义、(2)数据收集、(3)形成性评价和(4)有效沟通。第一阶段将结合最初的陈述和在线互动参与主题的机会。第二阶段是面对面进行的，将与Include网络的团队密集合作，以改进他们的运营和长期计划。第三阶段将反映和报告讲习班情况，并制定国家骨干组织能力建设计划。通过这三个阶段的结合，他们将支持Includes团队第一年的工作，并加深对国家网络如何将在线和面对面因素结合起来以推进Include努力的理解。讲习班小组将创建和传播对纳入和相关项目立即有用的资源，讲习班将与其他讲习班公开协调，以实现协同增效。在线产品将是开放的，广泛的广告，并永久可用。将广泛传播关于国家骨干计划的经验教训。除了来自包括网络的参与者外，还将邀请更多的利益攸关方参加这两个阶段，以便制定未来计划，以实现与包括总体目标相一致的更广泛的影响。

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.
