A Toolbox "Train the Trainer" Workshop for the C-Accel Program

在这个项目中，工具箱对话倡议（TDI）提议制定一项“培训师培训”（T3）计划，使其能够扩展其成功的工具箱对话方法，使其可供有关各方使用，而无需TDI广泛的面对面参与。T3项目的核心内容将是在美国国家科学基金会融合加速器（C Accel）项目举办的第一次团队领导会议上提供T3研讨会课程。TDI T3计划将包括三个主要内容：1)一个3小时的互动式研讨会，旨在培训团队领导实施基于对话的工具箱过程，以加强团队与整个团队的沟通和协作；2)教学资源，如视频和网络研讨会，支持那些对设计和促进工具箱对话会议感兴趣的人；3)个性化和社区指导，将为团队提供持续的支持，以适应这些材料，以满足他们的特定需求。T3研讨会将间接促进C-Accel项目整体的更广泛影响。C-Accel项目有可能在许多领域产生更广泛的影响，但这种影响取决于团队成员能够在加速的时间内识别和解决跨学科背景下的差异。C-Accel的TDI T3研讨会将从两个方面推进知识。首先，它将为C-Accel团队领导者提供知识和技能，以增强其团队的沟通和协作能力。其次，TDI团队将提供资源，并提供咨询和指导，旨在提高C-Accel团队领导自己举办工具箱研讨会的能力。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

In this project, the Toolbox Dialogue Initiative (TDI) proposes to develop a "Train-the-Trainers" (T3) Program that will enable it to extend its successful Toolbox dialogue method, making it available to interested parties without requiring the extensive, face-to-face involvement of TDI. The centerpiece of the T3 Program will be a T3 workshop curriculum delivered at the first team leader meeting conducted by the U.S. National Science Foundation Convergence Accelerator (C Accel) Program. The TDI T3 Program will include three main elements: 1) an interactive 3-hour workshop designed to train team leaders to implement the dialogue-based Toolbox process for enhancing team communication and collaboration with their full teams, 2) didactic resources, such as videos and webinars, that support those interested in designing and facilitating Toolbox dialogue sessions, and 3) individualized and community mentoring that will provide ongoing support for teams in adapting these materials to meet their specific needs.The T3 workshops will indirectly contribute to the broader impacts of the C-Accel Program as a whole. The C-Accel Program has the potential for broader impact in many domains, but this impact depends upon team members being able to identify and resolve differences in a transdisciplinary context along an accelerated timeline.The TDI T3 workshop for C-Accel will advance knowledge along two fronts. First, it will provide C-Accel team leaders with the knowledge and skills to enhance the communicative and collaborative capacity of their teams. Second, the TDI team will produce resources and provide consulting and mentorship designed to enhance the ability of C-Accel team leaders to deliver Toolbox workshops on their own.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
