  1. 4-H Science Evaluation Learning CircleWebinarSeptember 2011-February 2012 Course Plan

  2. Webinar Goals • Generate ideas for E-Basics curriculum • Spark insights into informal science education • Build a community of practice Target Audience: state 4-H science teams

  3. Webinar Audience State 4-H Science Teams in all regions: • Northeast: PA, VT • South: FL, MS, NC, VA • North Central: IL, MN, NE • West: CA, CO, OR

  4. Webinar Objectives E-Basics • Teach basic evaluation concepts • Demonstrate applications of evaluation concepts • Invite feedback on E-Basics curriculum • Content • Delivery • Engage learners in interactive discussion

  5. Webinar Objectives Community of Practice • Promote a sense of belonging and support as members of a learning community • Engage 4-H science team members • On the national webinar • In their state teams

  6. Webinar Format Session Schedule: • Instruction and inspiration (30 min) • Discussion of evaluation skills and training (45 min) • Team leader debriefing (15 min)

  7. Webinar Format Session Sequence: • Embracing the challenge • Exploring the territory • Engaging the process • Empowering the players • Examining the data • Exchanging with supporters

  8. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Demonstrating the model • Articulate the need for evaluation > Identify, describe need on quiz • Understand the purposes of evaluation > Identify, define purposes on quiz • Remember the process steps of evaluation > Identify, define steps on quiz

  9. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Quiz: Evaluation Concepts • Need: Name 1 reason why evaluations are needed in 4-H science programs • Purpose: Name 3 of the 5 purposes identified for doing evaluation • Process: Name the 7 steps in the evaluation process in order

  10. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Building the team • Commit to E-Basics development > consent on E-LC agreement > identify 3 goals, 3 contributions to E-LC • Engage as a member of the learning circle > attend; ask, respond to Qs in chat box > respond on end-of-session feedback

  11. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Key Questions on the Community of Practice: • How is this learning circle influencing your capacity as an individual and as a state team? • What are individuals or your state teams doing between webinar meetings that strengthen your state science initiative? • What resources or activities of the learning circle are/could be helpful in building and implementing your state plan?

  12. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Engaging the model • Identify needs for understanding evaluation (prerequisite to E-LC engagement) • Express recommendations for training content and delivery (predicated on understanding options)

  13. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Questions for Evaluation Skills Training (E-Basics) • What key concepts or skills are important for understanding and implementing evaluations of informal science programs? • What strategies are most effective for teaching evaluation skills (and how do they sequence together)?

  14. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Questions for Evaluation Skills Training (E-Basics) • What is the relationship between programming and evaluation and how should our learning of evaluation skills reflect that connection? • What can we expect to accomplish in this webinar (relative to E-Basics) and what can we expect to accomplish in our state teams?

  15. Session 1: Embracing the Challenge Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Reflecting on the experience (leaders) • Clarify purposes of the 4-H Sci E-LC (reflect on clarity, response for Session 1) • Recommend actions for Session 2 (predicated on understanding options)

  16. Session 2: Exploring the Territory Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Demonstrating the model • Describe quality and impact evaluation > Identify, describe Q&I on quiz • Understand connections between programming and evaluation > Identify, define connections on quiz • Articulate evaluation standards > Identify, describe standards on quiz

  17. Session 2: Exploring the Territory Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Building the team • Understand role in E-Basics development > Identify E-Basics tasks, roles on E-LC quiz • Engage as a member of the learning circle > attend; ask, respond to Qs in chat box > respond on end-of-session feedback

  18. Session 2: Exploring the Territory Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Engaging the model • Identify needs for understanding evaluation among 4-H professionals and partners • Express recommendations for training content and delivery to maximize access and impact

  19. Session 2: Exploring the Territory Objectives: Participants will be able to… • Re: Reflecting on the experience (leaders) • Clarify purposes of the 4-H Sci E-LC (reflect on clarity, response for Session 1) • Recommend actions for Session 2 (predicated on understanding options)

  20. Session 3: Engaging the Process Objectives:

  21. Session 4: Empowering the Players Objectives:
