Key changes or connections to sustain after the grant

• Pedagogical changes

• Working in principles, not just programming

• Personal relations – how to sustain after

• Industry relationships and feedback loop

• Fidelity to content

What activities are formalizing changes and relationships

• Creating new materials – if we build it they will come (maybe)

• Create buyin– Top down (within dept)– Bottom up (or something) outside dept– Finding advocates (their idea!)

• Establish course mentor• Using metrics/rubrics

How to measure success

• Formal metrics

• FOR majors/outside of Majors– Different!– headcount/ enrollment

• Exit interviews (seniors)

DOs and DONTs

• DO– get Chair engaged– encourage dialog in targeted groups– objective assessment– be collegial, understand language of others– ask faculty about their needs. – involve others early (from Higher Ed )

DOs and DONTs

• take it to dept meeting

• Whine

• Don’t proclaim yourself King of the story, don't be so righteous about CS.

STORY IS CULTURE CHANGE

• Engage others– Higher ed / culture change– Cultural anthro– Public policy

Ways the CPATH community or NSF can help

• Funded course mentors
