Action Plan Self- Assessment

Use the rubric below to self-assess your action plan, and to use as a checklist for the gallery walk submission.

“Developing” means that you know that there are some details remaining to be done (you might want to leave a note to yourself about exactly what!).

“Accomplished” is the implementation standard. This means that you’ve got what you need and you’re ready to use the action plan.

“Exceeding” means that the action plan goes above and beyond the standard! In general, this category applies to plan elements that allow others to make use of your work in an accessible and rigorous way.

Developing / Accomplished / Exceeding
Goals / Some ideas about the goals presented but vague or lacking in detail. / Specific goals are shown in mind, often with quantitative or data driven targets. All relevant goals are included. / Detailed benchmarking of goals, often against a current or academic standard, which are referenced as appropriate.
Plan Description / Although the overall plan is clear, some parts of the plan remain unresolved, or only lightly sketched out. / A detailed plan is presented that describes all of the significant elements. It is clear what technologies need to be acquired/used/mastered, and what specific actions by which people need to be completed to make the action plan a reality. / In addition to the outcomes listed in “Accomplished”, the plan clearly notes the motivations for the plan elements (referencing the literature as appropriate), and connects each step in the plan to further sources.
Example of Plan Implementation / Although the example is not complete it clearly shows the intended design of the planned change. / A complete example is presented – the author could immediately use this as part of a course. / A complete example is presented – and another instructor could immediately use this as part of a course. This may require supplementary notes. Additionally, a complete implementation of a course transformation might be provided (!).
Evaluation / Although the evaluation plan matches up with the plan’s goals, some elements are missing, such as / A clear evaluation plan is provided, with metrics of success that line up with plan’s goals, and some information about how the data will be collected. / A clear evaluation plan is provided, with numerical metrics of success, that line up with the plan’s goals. Example or actual evaluation instruments are provided (such as student surveys) and are backed up by references, as appropriate.
Timeline / Events are ordered in a logical way. / Specific dates of milestones are provided as are details of which people will be completing each element. / A detailed and generalizable timeline is included, allowing others to fully understand the scale of the program and do a full project implementation. Commitment time estimates should be backed up by references, as appropriate.
Overall / The action plan will help the author(s) implement the technological change but some further work is required in determining all of the elements. / The author(s) can pick up the action plan and use it to implement the technological change in their course, and be able to tell if the implementation is a success. / Any instructor can understand and implement this action plan, and justify it’s worth to administration, funding agencies, and themselves.
