At our February SPDG Directors' Webinar we got a behind the scenes look at the South Dakota SPDG.  We started with the South Dakota Evaluators who shared their widely lauded evaluation plan and how they have integrated family engagement into that plan.
 

Brandi Gerry, the SD Project Director, shared:

•     Their project infographic and how it has helped her collaborate with others at the State level.

•     Implementation lessons learned.

•     Resources and strategies that have worked.

•     What she would recommend not doing.

• Representatives from Minnesota’s Comprehensive System of Personnel Development Team surveyed 500+ individuals about factors affecting recruitment and retention of professionals working with children with disabilities in early childhood education.
• They will share results of the 400+ person survey and focus groups and discuss implications for other states.

Purpose: Participants learn from each other about strategies that respond to a changing context. Participants learn of appropriate uses of the root cause analysis and how to link the analysis to action.

Learning Targets: (1) Participants are able to name at least 3 strategies to respond to a changing implementation landscape. (2) Participants are able to name one resource and one strategy for using root cause analysis to plan.

Purpose: Develop a shared understanding of the purpose, goals, and planned activities.

Learning Targets:  Participants will have a basic idea of their audience, how they want to reach them, and the messaging that will resonate with each audience.
