Change Agents, Administrators, and Geoscience Programs Team discussions, updates, and action plans A national network of teams of 2YC geoscience faculty catalyzing change in Their teaching Their geoscience program Their region Support academic success of all students Broaden participation in geoscience Facilitate students’ professional pathways into geoscience Value of administrators – sharing – expertize and value from both perspectives. Value of all voices, Importance of administrator involvement and support Consider sustainability

Spirit of inquiry Is geoscience enrollment increasing? Departmental/Program Practices Inventory What is participation in geoscience program vs college by demographics? Course-level outcomes measures What is success (C or higher) in different geoscience courses? What is the progression of our students/majors into geoscience pathways? Questions that they can address with the data or about it and relationship to equity. Framing in terms of inquiry about the outcomes measures results, possible strategies for equity, preliminary ideas for their action plan for the coming year, and what they would like to share/highlight with their administrators. How are we engaging colleagues in our program, department, and campus, including adjuncts? What are effective strategies to address program needs and goals?

Strengthening your geoscience program Where are critical places where you can make a difference and have an impact in your geoscience program/department? Moving program goals into actions Identify a need and articulate your goal(s) Explore strategies that address your goal Choose strategies & develop a plan with measureable outcomes Implement your plan and track progress using data Identify a need and articulate your goals, ( Ask questions and gather data to understand the factors that influence the need your goal addresses). Choose strategies that are appropriate and you think likely to be effective and develop a plan with measureable outcomes. Recursive.

Highline College Example Identify a need and articulate your goal(s) Explore strategies that address your goal Choose strategies & develop a plan with measureable outcomes Implement your plan and track progress using data NEED: Geology 107 (Natural Hazards) has a lower success rate (68%) than other geology courses GOAL: Increase class average success rate (“C” grade or higher) by 5% in the next term POSSIBLE STRATEGIES: Incorporate metacognition activities into the course Broaden evaluation methods to allow students to show mastery of course content in different ways. Scaffold the writing assignments Develop assignments that include the Writing Center Restructure student feedback -“I’m giving you some critical feedback because I expect that you can do the work.” Emphasize the place-based nature of the course and assignments

Team discussions and Action plans Team discussions: team/program work on following topics Addressing the three strands, including measures of success Supporting the success of all students Broadening participation Facilitating students’ professional pathways in geoscience - careers, transfer Working for change at the program, department, and/or institution level Engaging your program colleagues, including adjuncts Working with other colleagues and/or offices and/or initiatives on campus … Type responses for each topic in team/program workspace page Break 9:45-10:00 Action planning: moving your discussion forward to develop your program implementation/action plan for next year Type notes in team/program workshop page Relate to goals of the session – tie in to what the administrators wrote in registration Both what you have done and what you might do in the future

Team discussions: Guiding questions to consider For each of the three strands, what are key needs/opportunities, goals, and strategies for your program? What is their relationship to course-level outcomes data or other measures of success? What are the most important needs/opportunities for your program from different perspectives (e.g., Change Agents, administrator, outcomes measures, other data)? Identify your goals. What strategies are you using now to address your goals? What strategies might you use to be even more effective? How do your goals and strategies tie into your outcomes measures? How do your goals and strategies relate to institutional priorities or initiatives? How will you work for change at the program, department, and/or institutional level? How will you engage your program colleagues, including adjuncts? How will you work with other colleagues and/or offices and/or initiatives on campus? Type your responses in team workshop pages Let us know if you’d like to discuss a question with one or more of the project personnel

Action plans: Guiding questions to consider What are your implementation plans for the coming year, keeping in mind the need to address all three strands by the end of the project and to engage your colleagues? Who will do what, and when? What are your measures of success? How will you address each of the three strands? Next year, what changes would you want to see in your outcomes data? What are your plans for working at the program, department, and/or institutional level? What are your plans for engaging your program colleagues, including adjuncts? Who can you partner with (champion team)? How do your goals and strategies relate to institutional priorities or initiatives? What are institutional resources you can tap into? What are your levers for change? What do you need to support your efforts? from SAGE 2YC? from your campus? from your administration? Type your plan in team workshop pages Let us know if you’d like to discuss a question with one or more of the project personnel open discussion and debrief Time to write, possibly open discussion after that.
