Overview of National Evaluation Efforts
November 3, 2010
0:45:56
This webinar will provide an overview of national 4-H Science evaluation efforts to date. The national
4‐H Science Evaluation’s overall goal is to gather data on and show the impact of 4‐H Science programs.
This evaluation will enable us to: • Quantify and report the impact of the 4‐H Science initiative and 4‐H
Science programming • Identify best and promising practices in implementing science programming at the
state and local level and share these practices around the country • Make the appropriate adjustments to
the national 4-H Science strategy • Identify areas for resource development • Identify areas for
professional development • Identify priorities for national curriculum development • Provide concrete data
to funders, policy makers, and key stakeholders at the national, state, and local levels about the impact of
4-H Science programs • Strengthen efforts in marketing the importance of 4-H Science at the national,
state, and local levels
Critical Fundraising Factors
November 8, 2010
1:13:33
What will it take to secure the funds your state will need to sustain and grow great 4-H science programs?
While there may be no easy answer to this question, there are a few key resources that can put you on the
path to fundraising success. This webinar will outline those success factors and set the stage for the fund
development track at the 4-H Science Leaders Academy. Roles, responsibilities and expectations of your
state’s fund development team member will be discussed as well as the ways team members can begin
working together now to maximize their time at the face to face training this December. And of course,
there will be ample opportunity for Q&A! This webinar will be offered three separate times throughout
the month of November. Fund development focus team members are strongly encouraged to make their
participation in one of the three sessions a priority. Academy participants from other focus teams are also
welcome and encouraged to join us.
Getting Everyone On_Board for 4-H Science
November 8, 2010
0:46:59
This webinar will help 4-H Science Academy team members facilitate organizational readiness for
increasing 4-H Science capacity in their state. Using a model borrowed from the field of evaluation
capacity building, the presenter will identify important organizational elements that can facilitate or hinder
the development of a strong 4-H Science program. Webinar participants will understand these important
organizational elements and the ways in which they work together to create a context for the success of 4H science. Participants will be encouraged to think about the elements in their own organization through a
self-assessment that will be presented during the webinar. The end goal of the webinar is for participants
to identify the areas of organizational strength and weakness related to readiness for increasing 4-H
Science capacity, and to develop a plan for increasing organizational readiness for 4-H Science in their
state.
The Intersection of Inquiry Based and Experiential Learning
November 10, 2010
0:57:38
This upcoming webinar will provide an understanding of the intersection of positive youth development
practices, experiential learning methods, and inquiry-based learning methods as they relate to 4-H
through: 1. effective youth development practices in non-formal learning settings, 2. experiential
education as a philosophy and method, and 3. inquiry-based learning methods, specifically applied
through scientific inquiry. Learn how this intersection of PYD, experiential learning and inquiry-based
methodology engage youth to develop competencies, focuses on the experience of the activity, and
investigate the phenomenon which leads to outcomes and possible careers for youth
Breakthrough Learning – What it takes to make a difference
November 18, 2010
1:16:54
Have you ever questioned the value of professional development experiences? Do you struggle to make a
difference when planning these experiences? “The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning” by Wick,
Pollock, and Jefferson, offers a great perspective on how to turn training into organizational results. In this
webinar we will discuss the highlights of this book , look at other transfer of learning ideas, and share
experiences and approaches. The six disciplines include: •Define organizational outcomes for doing
training •Design the complete experience •Deliver for application •Drive learning transfer •Deploy
performance support •Document results (Wick, Pollock, & Jefferson, 2010)
12 Tips to Successful 4-H Science Rich Volunteers
February 3, 2011
0:59:33
Join us as we take an expanded look at the 12 Tips to Successful 4-H Science Content Rich Volunteers
and The Scientist-Volunteer Model. This webinar will help you take the 12 Tips as well as The ScientistVolunteer Model and focus on how you can start applying these pieces to your state and local programs.
Discussions will center on how this pieces are similar to your current, traditional volunteer efforts and
how 4-H Science Content Rich volunteers differ from those traditional volunteers. We will also look at
how even though these tips focus on the 4-H Science Mission Mandate; they can be helpful across all
three Mission Mandates. This will help clear up questions related to the focus strictly on 4-H Science
versus 4-H Youth Development and how 4-H Science is one more tool to help teach Youth Development
rather than a separate entity having a life of its own.
Building Evaluation Capacity
February 7, 2011

Assessing your Programs Evaluability (Sessions 1 & 2)
March 14, 2011
1:51:50
1st Session: As resources continue to be scarce, the demand for accountability in administering grant
funding grows even stronger. Yet it can be difficult to know what initiatives are ready for and worth
investing in for outcomes-focused evaluation. Implementing evaluability assessments (EAs) prior to
committing to a large scale outcome evaluation design can be a significant help to gain insight regarding
an initiative’s design, implementation, and readiness for an outcomes-focused evaluation. 2nd Session:
Further, the Systematic Screening and Assessment (SSA) Method pairs evaluability assessment with
expert review and judgment, and with modest resource investment it can generate a wealth of knowledge
about a series of initiatives. Through this structured and iterative approach, program funders and managers
can make better use of evaluation resources, and programs can benefit from recommendations for design
improvements.

Tools for Developing Inquiry in 4-H Programs
May 20, 2011
1:05:18
Curiosity - perhaps it killed the cat, but it is at the heart of how we learn about our universe. And it is at
the heart of inquiry. Inquiry is taking action on our own personal curiosity, moving from that initial
wonderment to asking our own questions and figuring out how and why. Let's exploit that natural
curiosity to help youth stay motivated to learn! This webinar includes an overview of tools and resources
developed by ISU, UMN, and Council that package the Science Inquiry concepts for implementation in 4H programs. The tools were designed for use by 4-H as you enhance your own skills and deliver
professional development in your state, including videos that frame inquiry, coaching inquiry, and
working with youth. We'll also discuss strategies you can use to encourage volunteers to try new methods
of working with youth. Target Audience: Professional interested in increasing their understanding of
inquiry as it relates to professional development.
Planning Early for Careers in Science
June 13, 2011
1:16:52
What do you want to be when you grow up? This question is one that nearly every young person has
considered many times even before they enter high school. However, how important are the decisions that
young people make about this question when they are still in middle school? This question is especially
important for out-of-school time science programs. Robert H. Tai, associate professor of science education
will discuss his research study on this topic that appeared in the journal Science. Using data from a 12year longitudinal study, he and his team found a strong association between what youngsters say they
want to do in middle school and what they actually did years later in college. Target Audience:
Professionals interested in learning more about impact of science programs.
