| Abstract:
This presentation will focus on ways to integrate evaluation into a MSW Program Curriculum, how such a focus meets the standards established by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), and how the two fields intersect. Such a focus will contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of evaluation by providing a unique perspective on evaluative methods which can be applied across disciplines. It also places emphasis on the evaluative process, measuring the effectiveness of social work practice, policy, or programs and identify areas of improvement.

|
| Abstract:
Jim provides campus-wide leadership regarding the use of technologies to positively influence learning, teaching, and research. He regularly consults with SDSU personnel (including faculty) on an array of IT issues—including the selection, design, implementation and evaluation of tools, applications, systems, and other solutions for instructional planning, delivery, and assessment. He has led or managed initiatives dealing with course redesign (including conversion to hybrid or fully online delivery); he is especially well-versed with strategies for improving the large-lecture (n=100+), in particular, courses held in classrooms that are technology-enhanced and fully web-enabled. Jim also assists with management of day-to-day ITS operations.
He’ll showcase ways that Blackboard data (supplemented with information gathered via self-report, observation, and interviews/focus groups) can reveal students’ level of effort, academic performance, and perceptions of the learning experience.

| Abstract:
The 1st Annual Teaching of Evaluation Idea Exchange
The Exchange would be a clearinghouse for ideas, techniques and approaching for teaching about evaluation. Participants would have the opportunity to see how others have presented and reinforced evaluation concepts and would leave the session with tools they could implement.
How to Take Part
1. Let us know that you will be attending the session. This will allow us to have sufficient copies for all that attend. To do this, contact Neva Nahan, TOE TIG program co-chair, at n.nahan@wayne.edu
2. Write a description of your original or adapted teaching practice that has worked well for you. If you use material from other sources, please indicate source. Presentation should be on one or two sides of an 8 ˝ X 11” paper. Write your name, phone number and email on the sheet.
3. You will receive an email approximately 2 weeks before the AEA conference with the number of copies you should bring.
4. Attend the Teaching of Evaluation Topical Interest Group business meeting on Thursday, November 8, 2007 from 6:10-7:00 p.m. Depending on the number of participants and the length of the business meeting, we might ask you to present your idea to the group or just distribute packets of ideas to participants.
