- Connect emotionally with our personal story: Probably like you, we developed this grand vision for learning in our school district - describe. To achieve this vision, all learners needed access to a computing device. How to do this? Once access looked like a reality, we asked the question - How do we know if the program has been effective? How do we demonstrate change to our stakeholders What have other schools done? Other than university-sponsored research on 1:1 programs, we found very little. Virtually no schools were assessing/evaluating their implementations, at least not publicly. So we set up a cyclical framework to provide us with regular feedback from teachers, students and parents - 1x each semester - formative and summative What are the goals of the initiative? Who is the audience? What data will you collect relevant to the goals of the initiative? How will you analyze the data? How will you share the results? What’s next?
- Provide some demographic information: Small district (1600 students) $32M annual budget (3% technology - including personnel) 29% free/reduced Provide the brief story of the initiative: 2011 - 1st year of 1:1 in grades 6-12 TL2014 - resources available at TL2014.org 2014 - 4th year of 1:1 in grades 6-12; 1st year of 1:1 in grades K-5 TL2020 - resources available at TL2020.org Macbook device; iPad device Constant data gathering - formative (to inform the program) and summative (to demonstrate progress toward the goals of the program)
- Benefits of undertaking an assessment/evaluation project...
- What are the general goals and outcomes that are important to you and your community? Why are you implementing your tech initiative? Can the goals/outcomes be turned into 1 or more specific research/evaluation questions?
- Community - school board, teachers, parents, taxpayers, etc. Wider educational community - locally, nationally, educational researchers Formative vs. Summative: Does your audience need/want formative data to make adjustments in implementation? Or does your audience need/want data to provide evidence of impact at a particular end period?
- Will you find or build data collection tools?
- What tools will provide you with the kind of data you need to determine success toward your goals? The goals should drive the research
- Explain components of each tool and how the tools connects to the goals and what we were/are looking for.
- Who will analyze the data? Should not be a solitary effort. What evidence shows you’ve met your goals? What are you looking for in your data? What is important to your constituents when you share out?
- Remember who your audience is… teachers (faculty meetings) school board public (post online)
- Ongoing Research Initiative Joining Apple Cohort to determine our next steps Developing research project with admin team collaboratively this summer Only a couple doing research TL2014 - more ownership
