NTAE 2021-22 Progress Report.docx

Two informational sessions on our “Team Effectiveness” services including Google’s Project Aristotle & Team Health survey dashboard.

Digital Engagement and Publishing The Publishing/DE team created and provided to catalysts a publishing/DE readiness rubric, which collected information and assessed the project’s need and readiness for publishing and DE services. Catalyst indicated potential in particular for Digital Engagement services. Marketing and Communications The Extension Foundation met with Ray McKinnie to discuss the inclusion of DEI programs into the National Registry. In this early discussion, we proposed the creation of questions specific to DEI, a review process for badging promising programs, and a capstone event to feature the programs. The committee will review the recommendations. If the committee approves DEI questions in the National Registry, the Extension Foundation will support the implementation of those questions, by supporting the process for reviewing programs and will begin to schedule and frame the capstone event. Partnership and Development DEI Program Action Team Update - The ECOP Program Committee's Program Action Team on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion led by Vonda Richardson, Florida A&M University, and Rachel Welborn, Southern Rural Development Center, has established year one priorities which include: 1. Developing an information-sharing system for posting resources such as peer-reviewed policies, procedures, best practices, and examples across the system that advance the efforts, working with Extension Foundation to host. 2. Establishing metrics to measure changes in awareness, behavior, and actions toward the goal of the system, institutional, and program transformations advancing DEI. Help establish a baseline starting point from which we can gauge success. 3. Identifying a few promising programs to support as national initiatives - focus on a few things we can do well together, models that work on a programming level. 4. Exploring collaborations that work amount 1862/1890/1994 - what works, what could improve? What could set up our system for collaboration rather than competition? 5. Developing an Extension DEI community acting on system-wide, institutional, and program actions. Evaluation Evaluation KIs have reviewed team documents for an initial assessment of evaluation needs based on submissions. No evaluation support has been requested.
