Brainstorms:Rendering the Accounts of the CPED Experience

• What are themes that can cut across programs...the narratives of the institutions
• How can we engage faculty in program development?
• Having a public dialog about what we are doing
• How can we take stock of where we all are at different places in the process?
• Can potential funders visit with us to see where we are and what we look like now?
• Take stock of 25 member institutions...institutional reports?
• Look across institutions at similarities and distinctions.
• Start a student-generated data base that is evidence of how we work with principles
• Signature assessments: 3 or 4 that everyone uses and study their efficacy
• CPED partnership support system...support a representative at each institution to oversee R&D
• Support with evaluation for the R&D agenda: what would evaluation look like: cross-institution elements and institution-specific
• Strong formative aspect and summative; focus on capacities of students as they develop and then leave the program; student-tracking database; look at questions on how doe students survive in hostile environments; how dos students feel about their progress; how do admissions affect student experience?
• Evaluation: tracking longitudinal changes of grads; shifts within organizations and systems changes that result; changing dispositions around culture and diversity; IDI tool as pre and post to measure shifts on grad views and affects on decision-making; track student dispositions over time using 360 degree tool
• Content analysis of capstone process; guiding question of what impacts our grads are making on field
