Grant Management
Resource Database Draft Lorraine Hodel
Lorraine Hodel reviewed a data spreadsheet defining BCOE grants, amounts, beginning/ending dates, and collaboration with other departments. It was agreed that this draft chart creates a much needed database for our grant and research information. Lorraine requested recommendations for additional information which members might want included in the chart.
Suggestions included:
¼ Electronic copies of RFPs that have been awarded for future reference
¼ A comments section
¼ Identification of contracts vs. grants
¼ More inclusion for community collaborations
¼ Identifying the targeted outcomes and more target population options
¼ List of Projects (even if not funded)
¼ Information regarding all BCOE divisions should be eventually added to the chart
¼ Include information that would assist linking grant back to our talent pool
¼ Now that we have the flat database started, we will stay with this rather than switch to a grant management software program.
¼ Why not look at all of funded programs, including general funded and categorical programs
Posting of this information is to be decided; i.e., brokers of expertise, etc. and Carolyn will work on deciding the best place to post and share this database. It will probably be stored on Goddard as a read only file. Nancy requested that attendees review the information provided at this point and send corrections.
Grant Discussion Carolyn Olsen, Nancy Silva
“Teacher’s Professional Development for Inland California”
The team was asked via the agenda to read and be prepared to discuss:
“ How will BCOE ESS frame this grant opportunity to districts/schools to encourage PD support partnerships for ESS coordinators?”
This grant came to Carolyn via NERCC (North Eastern Regional Curriculum Committee) and Nancy has worked with CSU Chico to make known the needs available. The team discussed how to share this information with Butte County school districts. Nikol shared that she understood that there would only be one grant awarded per county, and that the lead would have to be a teacher team, although we could partner with that team. Patty Garrison shared this is a teacher team formative assessment grant, with an emphasis on “organically grown” grant ideas. Seventy five percent of the grant funds must be used for professional development. After further discussion, information could/should go directly to teachers, especially BCOE teachers. Nancy, Carolyn and Patty will work on providing the information with a list of our professional development opportunities.
Resource and Development PLC
Review SMART goal draft and revise timelines, outcomes, and action steps as needed.
The team discussed the handout and the document provided was updated and will be adopted with changes noted.
NERCC SMART Goals handout was shared by Carolyn with discussion on ESEA authorization area and how we will leverage our expertise in areas.
Nancy shared that she had not received any feedback from anyone regarding RDT forms, etc. She will label “versions” of the forms so upcoming changes are incorporated.
Reminder of Next Steps Document – NEW Due Date January 15, 2011! What can we do to help you?
