and "Measures of Success". Ann will make the corrections
and email the revised version to committee members. Members
can sign the blueprint at the next meeting.
Strategies for increasing ENG 071/101 faculty participation
in Project SAILS
-
Ann will draft a one page flyer, which will
be reviewed by Linn, to be placed in the mailboxes of English
faculty.
-
Linn will remind faculty about the assessment
testing at the English Department Meeting on Sept. 15th
and at the Developmental English Meeting on Sept. 13th.
-
One-on-one contacts will be made by:
Elizabeth - Kimbuende, Naughton
Michelle - Chancellor, Ozz, Simmon
Linn - Haberman and others, as appropriate.
Ann - Skeen, Roe
Ann will email committee members the informational sheet about
Project SAILS that was originally written for Nancy Matte, which
might be useful during one-on-one contacts.
Ann will also request additional scantrons from Project SAILS
to prepare for an increase in paper testing.
Assisting Faculty with Administering Test
Ann, Michelle, and Elizabeth volunteered to attend classes to
assist faculty in administering the test, if requested by faculty.
Debby would also like to participate, after observing a testing
session.
Ann will send the "canned introduction" that was
used in the first testing session to committee members for comments.
The "canned introduction" might be of use to others
helping with administering the test.
Web-based Version of Test
Michelle will continue to work with Darren and Symeon on creating
the front-end webpage. Once this is in place, committee members
can target WebCT instructors for participation in Project SAILS.
New IR Director
Ann will introduce Jan Binder, the new IR Director, to the work
being done by the committee. Jan begins work on Sept. 21st.
Ann will also check with Jan about sample size for Group 1.
Next Meeting
October 14, 2004 at 12:00-1:30pm. (Committee members will double-check
their schedules that this time is available.)
Committee members will communicate via email with updates about
outreach efforts to increase participation in Project SAILS.
