| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 8:49:35 PM | I did too. |
| Paulette Mangold | 10/30/2001 | 8:49:37 PM | I think I am back |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:49:40 PM | We all got washed out Sherri, my doing since we froze up. |
| doug greenway | 10/30/2001 | 8:49:55 PM | Welcome again |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 8:50:01 PM | ok so I don't get a complex |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:50:19 PM | Right Doug, welcome again |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 8:50:34 PM | I accepted calls from several people and now they are back. |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:50:49 PM | Thanks Bruce |
| doug greenway | 10/30/2001 | 8:50:55 PM | Mark, Can we ask questions to start or can that come later? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:51:02 PM | Now all we need is our guest of honor |
| Tammie Munsen | 10/30/2001 | 8:51:11 PM | I'm back |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:51:44 PM | Let's get PRachee back on line, and give her the first word, then we'll pop questions at her. |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 8:52:09 PM | sounds like a plan |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:53:04 PM | Okay, let's talk about your DD2's how are they coming? |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 8:53:24 PM | hello |
| Paulette Mangold | 10/30/2001 | 8:53:31 PM | good here |
| Joanne Ustad | 10/30/2001 | 8:53:43 PM | You mean stage 2s |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:53:47 PM | Are you making sence of this process of data collecyion and analysis? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:54:05 PM | Oh, thanks Joanne, right, stage 2's! Whew |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 8:54:54 PM | Andy refurbed ours - Stacy and I have reviewed it - are looking to meet on it Thursday. Data Collection and Analysis make sense. |
| Heidi Noem | 10/30/2001 | 8:55:08 PM | Ae we supposed to include issues such as validty and reliability with our data collection as that was mentioned in the few of the articles?? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:55:21 PM | Thanks Cliff, anyone else with a progress report? |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 8:55:27 PM | Is Prachee back yer. I just accepted a call from her. |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 8:56:03 PM | Doug, Bruce and Christi have revised Phase I and are meeting to complete Phase II Wed. night
|
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:56:32 PM | Good Christi, sounds like progress. |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 8:56:41 PM | yes, thanks for all the tips |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:57:20 PM | Good, glad they helped Christi |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:58:01 PM | One of the things I'll look for are how much consistency there is between your data sources and the questions you ask |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 8:58:47 PM | okay, what else? |
| stacy phelps | 10/30/2001 | 8:59:03 PM | [Private] have i missed much |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:59:07 PM | I would hope you're really clear on the type of sources you're using too! |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:59:15 PM | Hi Prachee, ready to go? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 8:59:17 PM | [Private to stacy phelps] nope |
| Heidi Noem | 10/30/2001 | 8:59:35 PM | Mark, how much detail are we supposed to go into regarding validity and reliability issues as that was brought up in several readings. |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 8:59:38 PM | Sorry we got bumped, just another day on the chat. |
| Joanne Ustad | 10/30/2001 | 8:59:50 PM | can you elaborate on on the consistancy thing. Do you mean that they are connected? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:00:22 PM | No much Heidi, I assume that the validty and reliability issues will take care of themselves once you get data saturation |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:01:09 PM | [Private to stacy phelps] A common 21st century affliction that - data saturation |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:01:15 PM | Joanne, I mean that you're aksing the right kind of questions to the right kind of sources |
| Joanne Ustad | 10/30/2001 | 9:01:27 PM | ok thanks |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:01:34 PM | [Private to stacy phelps] A common 21st century affliction that - data saturation
|
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:01:41 PM | You probably would ask about professional development opportunities to students or parents, right? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:02:18 PM | Looks like prachee is caught behind enemy lines. Is anyone getting her posts? |
| Paulette Mangold | 10/30/2001 | 9:02:31 PM | I'm not |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:02:31 PM | no |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 9:02:36 PM | nope |
| Jennifer Nelson | 10/30/2001 | 9:02:46 PM | no |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:02:47 PM | Nope, but I am getting a lot of calls still: Andy , Sandy, Cherykl |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:02:58 PM | Lisa Tolliver, are you on chat? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:03:07 PM | A common 21st century affliction that - data saturation ... Please define your meaning redundantly. |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:03:26 PM | Right Bruce, I've lat them in several times already. Must not be registering my access. |
| Heidi Noem | 10/30/2001 | 9:03:28 PM | Mark, I haven't seen any messages from her either. |
| stacy phelps | 10/30/2001 | 9:03:34 PM | it took me about a half hour to get into the chat |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:03:52 PM | Sorry Stacy, thanks for haning in there. |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:03:57 PM | me too, Stacy |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:04:04 PM | Saturation--should have explained it in the first place. |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:04:04 PM | Can we invite Prachee back? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:04:18 PM | We can try Bruce. |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 9:04:42 PM | her name shows on my screen now |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:18 PM | is she back or am I out? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:22 PM | When you have your sources repeating the same themes with the same intensity, you've reached saturation. |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:29 PM | you are still here Sherri |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:34 PM | You're in Sherri |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:35 PM | Mark, do expect a table for the data section? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:37 PM | thanks mark |
| stacy phelps | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:42 PM | seems like more people are back in. our count is up to 18 now and well 17 now |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:52 PM | I would like to see that Christi, a table organizs information so much better |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 9:05:59 PM | oh oh 16 |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:06:05 PM | okay, thanks |
| Joanne Ustad | 10/30/2001 | 9:06:10 PM | it is easier to work with too |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:06:17 PM | What was Christi's question? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:06:29 PM | [Private to stacy phelps] tabular works for us - that's what we put in on the Phase 1 |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:06:35 PM | Mark verified that a table for data sources is needed |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:06:38 PM | When you've reached that point of saturation, additioal data collection is likely not to be fruitful because it will not yield any new insights |
| stacy phelps | 10/30/2001 | 9:06:40 PM | does this chat have a capacity, cause it seem as if someone has to get kiccked out before others can get in? i encounter that almost all the time |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:07:02 PM | I don;t think so Stacy. I'll check into it. |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:07:12 PM | subliminal message |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:07:34 PM | Saturation is generally associated with qualitative techniques like interviews and focus groups. |
| Heidi Noem | 10/30/2001 | 9:08:24 PM | Mark, when we say we're going to survey the teachers, do we have to have our actual survey completed to show you?? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:08:39 PM | [Private to Prachee Mukherjee] Wow - I'm getting saturated - how about you Pratchee? |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:08:42 PM | so once you get a recuring theme, quit collecting? |
| Joanne Ustad | 10/30/2001 | 9:08:59 PM | a little is good, too much gets in the way of understanding |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:09:02 PM | You said we didn't need to design the tools, right Mark? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:09:11 PM | Heidi, no, there will be little instrumentation required of you . . . |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:09:44 PM | In a few weeks however, you will come up with a software evaluation protocol that is a part of you evaluation plan |
| 10/30/2001 | 9:10:07 PM | 30 minutes later, I'm back in! |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:10:09 PM | Christi, right. Generally, saturation signals a need to move into other topics, areas. |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:10:32 PM | hardware, netware, instructional methodology to follow? |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:10:36 PM | Could saturation mean you are asking the wrong questions? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:10:39 PM | IS that you Prachee? Or Sandy? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:10:58 PM | I'm here Mark... where did you guys disappear? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:08 PM | Right Cliff, Our hardware and netware will be part of a technology audit process. Already though, some plans have that built in. |
| 10/30/2001 | 9:11:11 PM | I'm back through Bruce Long |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:12 PM | cyberspace - fell right off into it |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:26 PM | Hio Prachee, somehow you got caught behind enemy lines! |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:34 PM | Three cheers for Prachee not giving up on us! |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:35 PM | its magic black evil magic |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:38 PM | Hip hip . . . |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:44 PM | hoo- |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:45 PM | ray |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:11:58 PM | Okay, that will do. |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:12:09 PM | Prachee, tell us about what you do. |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:12:14 PM | As long as I'm getting your messages I guess I'm okay |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:12:35 PM | What I do ... I work as an evaluator for a school district, that's the formal part |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:12:50 PM | What does that all entail? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:12:51 PM | Basically people think of me whenever they need to do surveys |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:17 PM | a high school? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:23 PM | Are you an internal evaluator? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:23 PM | On the other hand, I get requests from the Board of Education or Program Directors/Curriculum Supervisors to evaluate their programs |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:28 PM | Are you a consultant or an employee of the district? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:30 PM | I'm an internal evaluator |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:40 PM | Ah surveys, for folks who think eveything is a nail, they'll use a hammer |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:41 PM | An employee of the district |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:49 PM | do you work outside of your district? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:13:59 PM | on a consultant basis? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:14:06 PM | Sometimes...I do freelance |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:14:08 PM | how many people to you work w/ to do an eval? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:14:43 PM | INternal in the sense that she is employed by the district, to ply the lens of evaluation on their programs, curriculum, etc. |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:14:49 PM | It depends... usually it involves 2-5 central administators who get it going |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:15:01 PM | and how long does it take? normally? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:15:20 PM | Prachee, how is it being an internal evaluator? A folks more or less apt to use your evaluation findings? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:15:34 PM | It can also involve parent/community members... we have acoountability advisory committee members |
| Sherri Raschke | 10/30/2001 | 9:15:46 PM | so that we have an idea, how large is the districts enrollment |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:16:24 PM | Typically the timeline is a school year or a semester |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:16:43 PM | 35K students |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:16:52 PM | That's lots of surveys! |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:17:06 PM | what type of projects do you work with? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:18:06 PM | I think I know part of that answer Christi, internal evaluators do a lot of evaluation on development programs. IS that true Prachee? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:18:28 PM | I've done things like evaluating the implementation of a new math textbook, kit-based science curriculum, interactive-video based foreign lang ;program |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:18:38 PM | Given the volume that you work with - that seems to be a large amount of tabulation - are you beginning to implement web-based surveys - do you contract with ETS, or just scan bubble sheets? |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:18:44 PM | interesting |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:18:54 PM | Pretty eclectic |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:18:56 PM | do you mean development as in pilot programs? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:19:06 PM | Development in teacher training |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:20:04 PM | I do work on staff dev evaluation... not as extensive as I'd like it to be because we never get into 'impact' evaluation... |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:20:21 PM | We like that word--"impact" |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:20:37 PM | The web is not our medium yet because schools still have a lot of problems with technology |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:20:49 PM | The network is not always up if you know what I mean |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:21:15 PM | Are there poilcy or access issues with technology in your district Prachee? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:21:21 PM | We have two automatic scanners and software to design our own surveys... more friendly than bubble sheets |
| stacy phelps | 10/30/2001 | 9:21:22 PM | Well it would seem that an evaluation of the technology and it services is in order? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:21:54 PM | certainly an evaluation of our technology plan implementation is long overdue |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:21:55 PM | Well put Stacy, and you happen to be closer to C Springs than the rest of us! |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:22:12 PM | But the district chooses to skirt that issue... it is too politicized |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:22:14 PM | It could be a class project! |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:22:17 PM | Let me tell you a real life story |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:22:32 PM | So when you look at technology use in the district Prachee, what kind of evidence are you gathering? |
| stacy phelps | 10/30/2001 | 9:23:11 PM | It would seem that here in South Dakota we are so overwhelmed by technology that it is just seems to be natural integration or force of technology. i guess i forget that the rest of the country is still in an infancy in regards to technology |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:23:12 PM | The district needed to determine the bond amount to fund its tech program... called in the business community to detremine the bond size and the business community said we should promise the public a guarantee in test rsults |
| stacy phelps | 10/30/2001 | 9:23:21 PM | that does not mean we use it well though... |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:23:41 PM | wow |
| doug greenway | 10/30/2001 | 9:23:54 PM | Our staff can get real tired of another survey, what other instruments r methods are used in your district to gather feedback? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:24:27 PM | Guarantees are easy to make, do they expect them to be kept? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:24:39 PM | When I have looked at technology in the past it has been at bits and pieces. One elementary school was being used as a pilot by MCI to showcase its educational capability/support and I looked at teacher attitudes toward technoogy in the beginning |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:24:58 PM | contract = offer and acceptance - hopefully the district told the business community where to put their bond issue and went with e-rate and fed. funding |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:25:02 PM | Then we moved to use of technology in the classroom and in personal/professional tasks. It was a 2-year project |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:25:07 PM | who obtains your results of an eval? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:25:24 PM | YEs, some of us are looking at that, becasue as Stacy suggests, that has a lot to do with how well the technology might be used |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:25:31 PM | Results are public information, shared with the clients and schools |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:25:38 PM | URL of MCI results? |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:25:39 PM | Technology asa productivity tool. |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:26:05 PM | who're your stakeholders, normally? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:26:22 PM | Evaluation results are not on the district website or any website... but I can get them to you if you're interested |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:26:50 PM | Stakeholders are teachers, principals, parents and students. Support staff and community members at times |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:26:55 PM | email to Mark please... |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:27:12 PM | I'll distribute Cliff |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:27:51 PM | With increasing demands on staff time any kind of data collection becomes an extra chore for the staff |
| Cindy Rall | 10/30/2001 | 9:28:07 PM | What methods do you use to analyze the data that is collected? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:28:12 PM | I have tried but not had much luck with data collection from staff via email |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:28:24 PM | Do you use focus groups? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:28:33 PM | Yes focus groups and interviews are used |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:28:35 PM | Right, teachers are so pressed as it is. Few of them want to answer questions from a nosy evaluator. |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:28:59 PM | Serious or cynical Mark? |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:00 PM | how do you make the teachers except you and your work? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:02 PM | The Superintendent had me do focus groups to gather feedback on his first year's performance from various employee groups |
| Cindy Rall | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:33 PM | That had to be a touchy subject |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:36 PM | Did you work with some one inthe focus gorups or did yo do it all? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:37 PM | [Private to Prachee Mukherjee] waste of taxpayer dollars that |
| Paulette Mangold | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:39 PM | Did that help him to make the second year better |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:45 PM | Prachee, are you a single evaluator, or what does the evaluation staff look like? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:45 PM | Usually the teachers aceept me based on what their content level supervisor or dept head tells them about the importance of the evaluation I'm doing... |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:29:51 PM | Good question Paullette |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:30:05 PM | I'm a single evaluator in the sense I'm the only one with formal training in it |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:30:35 PM | I have 2 assistants... one of them is studying for a degree in Social Work and I have stated using her as an assistant for focus groups, training her as I go along |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:30:54 PM | The other asst works mainly with data entry and prep stuff |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:31:02 PM | As a savvy notetaker? |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:31:58 PM | Or do you record focus gorup sessions? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:32:02 PM | For the sup's evaluation, the themes that emerged were consistent across at least 2 groups for any theme and he found it treemendously useful, especially the comments in peopl's own words |
| Tammie Munsen | 10/30/2001 | 9:32:45 PM | people's own words seem to mean more and are more effective than numbers |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:32:50 PM | We record focus group sessions and transcribe them but I have a pretty good memory and I always take my own notes also and work with them right after the focus group .. at least do a rough draft |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:33:22 PM | Nothing more powerful than a school board member than a constituates words. |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:33:31 PM | Exactly. |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:33:32 PM | A lot to keep track of. |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:33:54 PM | I also have learned that 'focus groups' is a term loosely used by others, in a non-research sense |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:33:59 PM | Prachee, what advice do you have for us busy teachers but novice evaluators? |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:34:28 PM | [Private to Prachee Mukherjee] You could just take in a laptop and have it transcribe the session using voice recognition... Would that save time on data entry? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:34:47 PM | I think what i've ;earned is to keep it simple... sounds really naive and it used to annoy me at first but |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:35:26 PM | thank you for being here, you were very informative |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:35:29 PM | OK Mark, we will work on simple! |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:35:37 PM | K.I.S.S. |
| Heidi Noem | 10/30/2001 | 9:35:39 PM | Simple is good! |
| Bruce Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:35:48 PM | Yes, thanks Prachee. |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:35:50 PM | If you can ask the really important question and leave out the stuff that 'seems' interesting... the response burden is reduced |
| Paulette Mangold | 10/30/2001 | 9:36:08 PM | That also makes tallying easier I would think |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:36:10 PM | And of course unobtrusive data collection |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:36:15 PM | Good advice that last part. |
| Andy Conrad | 10/30/2001 | 9:36:19 PM | makes sense! |
| Cliff De Long | 10/30/2001 | 9:36:20 PM | that applies to instructional chat quite nicely |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:36:45 PM | Cliff, very observant. |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:36:46 PM | Teachers are inundated with paperwork so it's worthwhile to find out what they're already doing and use that to answer evaluation questions |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:37:24 PM | Those are extant data sources. Things that we already have like bsentism rates, roles, computer logs, etc. |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:37:32 PM | Prachee, you've been a great chatter. Thanks for joining us. |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:37:37 PM | I ahve found that interviews are something teachers love... rthey say they can only spare 30-40 minutes but then they can't stop talking |
| Paulette Mangold | 10/30/2001 | 9:37:41 PM | Then observation formal, informal is a big part of your evaluation process? |
| Prachee Mukherjee | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:06 PM | Okay... thanks a lot for having me... this was fun. |
| Christi Harter | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:12 PM | thank you |
| Jennifer Nelson | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:18 PM | thanks |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:19 PM | I see Bruce starting to fall asleep |
| Tricia Neugebauer | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:21 PM | thank you, Prachee |
| Mark Hawkes | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:26 PM | So, we have to get him to bed. |
| Paulette Mangold | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:27 PM | Thank you |
| Andy Conrad | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:31 PM | Parchee, say HI to Bill ! |
| Heidi Noem | 10/30/2001 | 9:38:31 PM | Thanks. |
