Item Creating the One-Shot Library Workshop: A Step-by-Step Guide(American Library Association, 2006) Veldof, JerilynWhether teaching research skills to college freshman, Internet skills to seniors, or staff development sessions to employees, librarians are repeatedly called on to deliver instruction in their library settings. Many librarians have never learned the basics of instructional design, much less how to effectively deliver information in a short time span, and they typically only have a short period of time—“one shot”—to deliver information. From needs assessment through design and implementation to final evaluations, this practical guide takes librarians step by step through the workshop process. Using these proven instructional design principles, librarians can: * Assess learners and what they need * Train multiple library instructors to maintain consistency in teaching and outcomes * Replicate content for regularly scheduled workshops * Develop a standard of presentation (including handouts) to maximize learning * Evaluate results to ensure learners are getting what they need These principles of instructional design are for every librarian who delivers instruction in any form. Use the step-by-step checklist and ADDIE principles (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) to have a powerful impact on your audiences. With a focus on practical applications, this book shows instruction librarians how to make every minute count.Item An Evaluation of Project SUCCESS Programming(Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement, 2012-10) Kundin, Delia; Michlin, Michael; Daugherty, MarthaProject SUCCESS (PS) is a youth-development organization working with students in public schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN. For over 18 years, the program has worked to motivate students to set goals, plan for the future, and pursue their dreams. The program seeks to accomplish these goals by collaborating with teachers, facilitating in-class workshops with students, and providing access to theater experiences and other special programs and services (e.g., one-on-one assistance, college tours, school performances, and Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) adventures). In August 2011, PS contracted with the University of Minnesota’s Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) to conduct an evaluation of its program. During the 2011-2012 school year, evaluators focused on building a foundation of evaluation activities that can be expanded on in future years. The purpose of the evaluation was to gather information to help program staff better understand how the program impacts students and teachers. This information is expected to help guide guide further exploration of program effectiveness.Item Guide to Establishing a Historical Document Survey Project.(2000) Couvrette, Rebecca
