What misunderstandings should we should clarify to our whole SNE? to specific members? Which of our SNE members reviewed these resources? (See raw data to answer). Are our SNE members kicking out resources for the right reasons? Did the resources they rated merit "No" answers to all of the criteria? What clarifying guidance do SNEs need? Quality Criteria Data Guiding Questions To what extent are our SNE members' posting recommendations aligned with other SNEs? When our members' posting recommendations are somewhat or not very aligned, does the raw data suggest any learning opportunities for our SNEs? Does the data indicate a need for improvement goals?
