Dear cohort members -
Hope this finds you well! I could see progress being made last week in the Moodle, and Qs coming in despite my time away (Ashville and Boone NC are lovely BTW :). Great job!
Kudos to: Vicki Fleming who was drawn as a coffee card winner from check-in responses, to Ryan and Vicki for reaching/exceeding level 6 (I'll send you out a magnetic nametag), and Christina - who is nearly finished with the Moodle coursework - wonderful!
PDLC offers me a great opportunity to get to know staff a little better - I love the extra Qs and requests for support that come in. Over the last couple of months, I've helped a few consider how to use Qualtrics and bigger sources of data, worked with others on using PDR data for decision-making, and helped some with reporting more effectively. The relationships that are built through investing time in working together are priceless!
Will anyone be at Ag Inservice? If so - I'd be happy to connect! Let me know - I will be there most of the time.
Personal update - I've recently had PhD research project approved for a Jan start - which means I'll need to step back on a few other projects, including support to PDLC (at least for the semester) after December. I don't see a reason that all could not complete the work in Moodle before the end of December, and for some...you are almost there :). Don't be surprised if you receive an e-mail with a check in on progress. I did add a course completion status to the right hand menu...it is all the way to the end. You should see your personal completion markers, making for an easy review.
A reminder - the equation for finishing PDLC (instructions for all of this are in our shared Google Folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bZ2sw_k3h8KFzsPFY653miLtdi_9T6Z4?usp=sharing (also findable in the "helpful links" section on our Moodle:
- complete topic content (check things off as you do them)
- Prepare a "one pager" + submit per instructions
- Prepare a presentation
- Sign up for a presentation time using the Google form: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CfGQklEXNUCMedGJgKMsOJMW8xB8G8fO190pRrwZ1OU/edit?usp=sharing
Look for my check-in form in your e-mail on Monday :) Keep investing time in your professional development and reflecting on things you are learning.
Happy Thursday!
