CSUF ALS Steering Project:
Key Project Milestones
•
•
•
•
•
Campus steering committee meets
Campus website collaboratively developed
Website reviewed by steering committee
Faculty advisory board “road-show”
Trainings to be developed based upon road
show feedback
• Revisions to website and posted material
ongoing
CSUF: What’s Working Well
• Shared information from collaborative team =
campus website
• “Did you know” campaign
• Peer to peer presentations (faculty to faculty within
each college)
• “Incentives” for information sessions (snacks)
• Key talking points, but no formal presentation
• Website used as key support for information
sharing
• Asking, not assuming, about future training topics
• Dedicated and diverse leadership team
CSUF: What’s Not Working as Well as
We Would Like
• Peer to peer presentations via open forum
• Firm timelines—flexible schedule found to be
beneficial especially when accommodating
department meetings
• Student membership on committee unstable
• Roadshow faculty may need to defer to
committee experts for specific questions and
can’t do so “on the spot”
• How to institutionalize the project website after
grant funding ends (webmaster, fact checker, etc.)
CSUF ALS Project: What’s Next?
• Continue information forums
• Develop trainings for needs identified at
information forums
• Deliver trainings and obtain feedback
• Ongoing revisions to website; add live tally for
$$ saved
• Continue to evaluate and expand pilot
projects while adding to campus showcase
CSUF College of Education: Project
