For any faculty attending the assessment session this afternoon (Monday):

During the Develop the an Assessment Plan piece your experience would be helpful. I am asking each of the groups to present parts of their assessment plans and would like the faculty to react the them.

Imagine a particular group or person from your wealth of experiences. This is a group or person who is particularly skeptical - maybe it's you- and ask questions about the assessment plans from the skeptic's perspective. This is a fun way to provide feedback to our participants on their plans while highlighting how individuals or groups can be persuaded, supported and sometime diffused, by a solid assessment effort and the right data.

Thank you in advance for your creativity and involvement.

Don't forget to leave time for the participants to do the evaluation at the end of your session.

Evaluation forms are color coded and in the participants' notebooks. I will have a box at the back of the room to collect them. Melissa has another collection box in the registration office.

The color of your evaluation form of your session is:
Lavendar: Alan
Blue: Heather
Gold: Barbara
Pink: Diana
Green: Rick
Yellow: Larry
Salmon: Kathy & Carole
White: Gary

Can you guess? Will the ITLI faculty admit to their Native American Medicine Wheel scores?

Here is the URL if you want to take the test.

This site is for the inaugural ITLI faculty of 2005, who under extreme pressure from participants, desire to walk the talk and blog as you all have been expected to blog.

The name of our faculty group is based on the names that the ITLI participants have named their groups. Therefore, we call ourselves The Big Witti Blowfish Polecats Blazing an Alchemist Trail to the Core of the Edge of the Sunrise.

We wish you all well!
