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

在该项目中，工具箱对话计划(TDI)建议开发一个“培训培训者”(T3)计划，使其能够扩展其成功的工具箱对话方法，使其可供感兴趣的各方使用，而不需要TDI的广泛、面对面的参与。T3计划的核心内容将是在美国国家科学基金会汇聚加速器(C Accel)计划举办的第一次团队领导人会议上提供的T3研讨会课程。TDI T3计划将包括三个主要要素：1)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流程，以加强团队与整个团队的沟通和协作；2)视频和网络研讨会等教学资源，支持那些有兴趣设计和促进工具箱对话会话的人；3)个性化和社区指导，将为团队调整这些材料以满足其特定需求提供持续支持。T3研讨会将间接促进C-Accel计划的整体影响。C-Accel计划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否在加快的时间表内识别和解决跨学科环境中的差异。C-Accel的TDI T3研讨会将从两个方面促进知识的发展。首先，它将为C-Accel团队负责人提供知识和技能，以增强他们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团队领导人自己举办工具箱研讨会的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
