PROJECT PROPOSAL NARRATIVE and BUDGET NARRATIVE

PROPOSAL NARRATIVE

a} Describe the project: goals, objectives, activities, etc. This project proposes to build a usable collection of Kindergarten to 1 ih grade (K 12) classroom resources for the primary source content in the UFDC. The UFDC is the University of Florida Djgital Collections (UFDC), which has over 7 million pages of content across disciplines, digitized from UF holdings and those of our partner institutions. The collection will enhance the UFDC, and increase visibility and improved use of UFDC. Further, the Teacher Resources Collection project can serve as a pilot that may extend to inclusion of teacher resources for content of other Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) digital libraries, and extend to K20 learners (kindergarten through university level).

Meeting the goal involves providing training for using digital library content, creation of exemplary standardsbased educational materials using UFDC content (see Appendix C. Example Standards Linked to Resources), a customized database, and policy and contribution tools to maintain and grow the collection.

A training resource will be written by the project team focused on use of digital library content for the K12 classroom. This resource will consist of information about UFDC content, searching UFDC, identifying public domain materials, and considering copyright rules that govern content. A template for lesson plans (e.g. content area, target group, duration, standards met, objectives, materials, procedures/activity, differentiation, assessment tool and rubric of understanding of content, resources and reflection) or other curricula will be developed.

Exemplary resources will be produced by collaborating with K12 teachers who have reviewed the UFDC primary source content. These resources include but are not limited to themed units, lesson plans and activities that are tied to educational standards for selected digital library items. Funds are requested to hire educators to develop lesson plans and other educational materials that will be produced by an instructional designer (10); these educators will be content experts in social studies, science/mathematics, humanities and literacies in either elementary or secondary education. Funds are requested to hire an 10 who will provide supportive web work and produce high quality, interactive resources from the content developed by the educator. All resources will be hosted on UFDC servers.

The project establishes a Teacher Resources Collection accessible from a customized, searchable database using open source UFDC/SobekCM. The search interface will include search criteria that are specific to the collection; searching can be done via subject, keyword, grade level, and educational standard to which the resource has been aligned (e.g. standards developed by national organization, Sunshine State Standards or Common Core State Standards). Usability testing will ensure the search interface is usable and understandable to K20 teachers and teacher education faculty. Once the database is developed from iterative design and testing, training for the new database and submission tool will be open to all educators, including K12 teachers, teacher education faculty, public librarians, pre-/in- service teachers, media specialists, and graduate students worldwide.

Methods to grow the collection consist of a permanent and public submission tool and open calls for the development of materials. The submission tool for new educator resources will be customized and tested for ease of use by educators. The policy guiding acceptance consists of peer review by a combination of Education Library professional staff and College of Education (CO E) faculty or graduate students prior to release on the open collection; the submission/review/approval process is currently in the queue for other digital collections. A plan to survey educators who submit to or use the collection will be devised and implemented. Further, as incentive to develop educational materials using UFDC content, a competition for best teacher resource (e.g. thematic unit) is planned. The competition will be announced Gainesvillewide and will result in additional resources for inclusion in the digital collection. An event will be held to award the winner.

Ochoa, MiniGrant Application 2012 Developing a UFDC Teacher Resources Collection

In addition, orientation sessions will be planned to expose the collections. Among these sessions are orientations specifically for teachers; a proposal is being fleshed out with Palm Beach County schools to include sessions to promote the UFDC and Teacher Resources Collection, and to encourage development and contributions of curricula and resources using UFDC content. This county is the 5th largest school district in Florida and 11th largest in the continental US; it is Florida's only urban district to earn the distinction of an "An rating by Florida Department of Education.

b) State why this project is important. This proposal addresses the lack of a centralized and moderated repository for original classroom curriculum in the UFDC. The Teacher Resources Collection will encourage educators to use, create and share their own educational resources based on UFDC content. Hidden digitized resources will be highlighted and accessed more frequently and for a variety of educational purposes. This unique collection is appropriate for the Education Library to curate, and allows for on-going contributions to the UFDC; this project supports the mission of the Library to provide both a research and curriculum collection for the programs in the CaE, including teacher education.

The beginnings of a prototype UFDC collection for educational materials (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/edmod1) has not been updated since 2007. However, some educational materials have recently been created for specific collections or works connected to UFDC. such as the Aerials Collection, dLOC (http://dloc.com/teach). and Spanish Colonial St. Augustine (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/teachers). These materials, while linked from individual collection pages, are not ideally connected; they serve as basic examples of the potential for growing and promoting UFDC for classroom use.

In a review of the literature and online comparative resources, several large digital libraries maintain educational resource collections that integrate library resources with curriculum. These are developed and maintained by governmental agencies, societies and consortia. For example, the FREE (Federal Resources for Educational Excellence) contains more than 1,600 federal teaching and learning resources organized by subject and often associated with digital library content. The Open Education Resources (OER) makes teaching and learning resources (course materials, learning objects) easily accessible and available by centralizing content; educators can also contribute their own materials to the collection. These two repositories suggest the importance of having an accessible, centralized tool to identify free, high quality resources for classroom use; teaching materials held in silos can be difficult for busy teachers to discover. For example, FREE increases the visibility of primary source library materials from various agencies, and enables a creation and sharing of ideas among teachers for how to use the resources in the classroom. Some elements/functionality found in FREE and OER may be considered when deSigning the Teacher Resources Collection interface.

A unique characteristic of the proposed collection is that it will hold teacher materials aligned with educational standards guiding classroom instructional strategies. The Department of Education notes standards define the knowledge and skills students should have at a particular grade level, and that each state has "challenging and clear standards of achievement and accountability for all children, and effective strategies for reaching those standards;" they can ensure students have the basic foundation to succeed after graduation. Also, several national and education organizations have created educational standards or guidelines. For the first time, a majority of states have identical learning standards (Common Core State Standards) in math and English Language Arts (Florida adopted in 2007). By accepting teacher resources designed and aligned to these standards (and not limiting to the Florida Sunshine State Standards), the collection contents will be useful to those outside of the state of Florida.

The project accomplishes an array of benefits, including: For K20 students: new and interactive ways to use online primary sources for learning about.

understanding and evaluating history, literature, science, and other disciplines

For the Smathers Libraries: partnerships with educators to develop teaching and learning resources; a

boost in use, exploration, access and visibility of UFDC; growth of a Teacher Resources Collection; a model for the submission, review, and approval process within UFDC/SobekCM; a model Teacher Resource Collection for other digital libraries (e.g. those maintained by ASERL institutions); a role in

helping educators learn new skills (e.g. leverage technology/digital resources for learning (International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standard

For educators (e.g. K20 teachers, media specialists, public librarians): o In the classroom: to teach with primary source materials, communicate/facilitate effective new

learning experiences through use of digital tools o For professional development: to receive training for how to find and use digital library content

(copyright/fair use, open access), to contribute educational resources for use by other educators, to develop skills to use digital tools (a goal of the ISTE standards)

c) Compare and contrast the proposed project to other similar projects in academic libraries. Few academic libraries with digital libraries are curating K12 classroom resource collections. A sample of 15 public land grant, ASERL, and Association of American Universities institutions were compared. Of these, only three digital libraries included a separate education resources collection. In a random review of collections within these digital libraries, five offered some educational resources associated with at least one collection, including the UFDC. Unique to this project is the education of teachers about fair use in the classroom.

d) Resources: The largest resource needed to complete this project is funding for honoraria for educators to create resources and an ID to design and build them. Educators will develop lesson plans and other educational materials that will be produced by the ID; these educators will be content experts in social studies, science/mathematics, humanities and literacies in either elementary or secondary education. An ID will provide supportive web work and produce high quality, interactive resources from the content developed by the educator. Incentive funds for the competition also will be required. Personnel includes IT Department's software programmer for log retrieval, interface development, and submission form development. A Copyright Librarian is needed for consultation on copyright as it relates to primary source usage, and PR staff will be enlisted to develop promotional materials for the competition and collection.

Server space within UFDC will be needed. If necessary, the Education Library will provide a workstation for the educators and/or ID to complete their assignments, although most of the work may be done off-site. Software for screencasting, image manipulation, and animation, etc. should already be owned by the ID.

e) Provide a plan of action for the project.

f) Collection and copyright: The Educational Resources Collection is not currently centralized or curated. Open licensing will apply to contributed resources. Copyright and licensing for contributed resources will be addressed in the submission guidelines.

g) Measuring the project: The project will be evaluated with log analysis and review of the Teacher Resource Collection for content and interface design via focus groups. Feedback from collaboration with COE faculty and students for hiring and garnering participation will also be considered. Other feedback gathered consists of number of educational materials, responses to surveys, usability testing and exit interviews of educators hired to develop materials, and comments from faculty regarding quality of resources developed.

h) Project dissemination: Recruiting educators and 10 to develop the educational resources will be accomplished by sending out an announcement by flyers, posters, webpage announcements, listserv announcements, and Facebook posts. Flyers and posters will be distributed in the Education Library, in Norman Hall, and in the Reitz Union to encompass students majoring and minoring in Education. Listserv announcements will be sent to the COE's Wednesday Update, a weekly newsletter sent to COE students. We also will work with COE faculty who will announce recruitment, collection and competition to their part of the Education student population.

Once the database is established, the project team plans to disseminate information about the project by flyers, posters, webpage and listserv announcements, and Facebook posts as well. Training on using the new UFOC database and submission tool will be done in various locations; we are currently working with directors/faculty at Palm Beach County and the COE to build momentum for the project. A competition to encourage educators to create and submit their own lesson plans will be announced by flyers, posters, webpage and listserv announcements, and Facebook posts. Supplemental wages for educators can motivate them to contribute. The winner will be announced at a small event at the COE and also by using the same media used to advertise the competition.

i) Long term financial implications: If this project is successful in the long-term, the collection will require server space. To encourage use and continued development of educational materials after the first year, the project team intends to hold workshops for using digital content and developing educational materials, and sponsor an annual competition for best resource. While the team will attempt to find an external source for the annual award, the team expects costs for storage for this collection to be included in the Libraries' server costs.

j) Provide a plan for what will happen to equipment/supplies purchased with these funds after the project

ends. No equipment or supplies will be purchased.

6 Ochoa, MiniGrant Application 2012 Developing a UFDC Teacher Resources Collection

BUDGET NARRATIVE

k) Provide a detailed explanation for how each expense was calculated. ($4,405.4 1 ) Wages ($3,000): Up to three educators will be hired, and will be paid an honorarium of up to $500 for exemplar resources created. Paying teachers for developing teaching resources is common; companies such as Teachers Pay Teachers (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/) show this practice. While some resources can be found for free, they are of varying quality. High quality lesson plans, activities, and thematic units and other types of resources can range from $3 (single lesson plan) to $20 or more (units with multiple subjects and levels) for purchase. The honorarium is based on discussions with COE faculty and students who have indicated $500 is a fair stipend to pay an educator for these materials (3 educators x $500 =$1500). Instructional designers are paid a wage of approximately $25 per hour, based on discussions with the COE's instructional designers. We estimate our ID will develop roughly 10 resources in which a single resource is projected to take six hours to complete (10 resources x 6 hours x $25 wage = $1500).

Travel Costs ($1,055.4 1): Travel to Palm Beach County for training for teachers and principals on UFDC and the Teachers' Resources Collection is a service to help expand knowledge of online primary resources of UFDC and educator contributions and participation in the competition. Travel for Marilyn Ochoa, April Hines and Bess de Farber will include round trip transportation ($239.41) and per diem for food (3 x $36/day =$216), along with lodging for Marilyn and April (2 x $300/night =$600). Other Costs (for competition awards and event) ($350): A competition requiring $150 in award money will be used to encourage contributions of curricula (1 top award x $100, 1 honorable x $50). The small award ceremony, which will include refreshments, will cost up to $200.

I) Provide a justification for each expense required to carry out the project. Funds are requested to hire educators to develop lesson plans and other educational materials that will be produced by the ID; these educators will be content experts in social studies, science/mathematics, humanities and literacies in either elementary or secondary education. Funds are requested to hire an ID who will provide supportive web work and produce high quality, interactive resources from the content developed by the educator. The need for both an educator and ID is that one deals with content while the other with building context and making delivery of the content manageable, understandable, and usable. For example, while the educator identifies a series of oral histories relevant to a lesson on World War II, the ID might create an analysis tool and assessment rubric to accompany the lesson.

m) Provide a detailed explanation of the PI's role vis-a-vis effort (does not qualify as a cost share match). The PI's role constitutes a large part of the planning and execution of the project. Activities include planning and developing the search interface, along with customizing the collected metadata for educational content. The PI will lead the project team in hiring and supervising the educators and ID. The project team will also be responsible for the refining of the database via focus groups, and for training.

n) Provide a detailed explanation of the contributed cost share by project team members toward the required

10% matching requirement. Cost share includes IT Department's software programmer for log retrieval,

interface development, and submission form development, Copyright Librarian for consultation on primary

source usage, and PR staff for promotion of the collection and competition.

Salaries and wage plus fringe amounts to $6,563.93 in cost share. These contributions are for the 1. principle investigator, Marilyn Ochoa (4% FTE: $2,672.01), to plan and execute all aspects of the project, 2. project team member, April Hines (2% FTE: $827.64) to assist with execution of activities, 3. database and contribution tool development and iterative design by Mark Sullivan (1 % FTE $903.63), and programming time by Suchitra Yellapantula (2% $1,438.17), 4. Christine Fruin (.5% $388.08) to provide copyright support for the initial training module for educators and 5. marketing assistance by Barbara Hood (.5% $334.40) to promote the collection and competition.

From: Gallingane, Mary Caitlin Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2012 11:28 PM To: Ochoa,Marilyn N Subject: UFDC Teacher Ed Collection Project

Hi Marilyn,

I really enjoyed meeting with you earlier this week and discussing the project that you are proposing to build a digital collection of teacher curriculum materials and other resources. I think this is a wonderful idea and the finished product will be of great value to our college, the university, and the nation.

Our teacher education students find themselves overwhelmed at times when faced with planning lessons for the first time that focus on a particular skill or topic. Often they have no idea where to look for ideas and few guidelines about what an appropriate lesson may be. They struggle to meld together the ideas about best practices that they have learned in class with actual strategies and steps for implementing them in a classroom. I often find that when they search for ideas, they venue they choose either very limited in scope or so broad that most of what they find is not applicable or helpful. A focused, searchable database will be extremely helpful for our teacher candidates and for beginning and practicing teachers. I'm hoping such a resource will help them find quality materials for exactly what they need without having to sort through excess, unrelated materials.

In addition, I have found quality to be an issue with many of the teaching resources students find on their own. When they issue a broad search online, there is not filter for quality. Our students are still learning what characterizes high-quality teaching and curriculum and at times cannot distinguish between levels of quality in the resources they find. When I question the quality of a resource, often their response is, "then why was it on a teaching website?" I believe a database that has a peer review system and a standard protocol will help control the quality of the materials in the collection and provide only the best teaching resources for our students and practicing teachers. Using the database will offer a sense of assurance in knowing that the materials it contains all meet high standards.

For those reasons I am very excited about this project and am pleased to be involved. I plan to help in any way that I can. I will be available at mUltiple stages of the project to review submissions and materials, to recruit potential educators to help create materials, to consult about protocols for the materials included, and in any other capacity that would be helpful to you. I am looking forward to working on this project and to the day when I can begin to advertise its availability and direct my students to use the database for their class assignments and field work.

Thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to talking with you soon, Caitlin Gallingane

October 5, 2012 Dear Members of the Grants Management Committee:

I am pleased to write in strong support of Marilyn Ochoa's mini grant project to develop additional resources to integrate the UF Digital Collections (UFDC) with k-20 education.

The specific, long-term goals that will be supported by this project include: the development of an educational module to teach educators how to find UFDC content and to use items for classroom use, with information on fair use; development of lesson plans based on Florida or common core state educational standards for selected digital library items; development of a UFDC collection enabling easy access to educational materials for our digital library content, based on subject, keyword, grade levet and standard (Florida or Common Core); development of a submission mechanism for other lesson plans and educational resources to be submitted; and overall development of additional socio-technical resources for the addition, enhancement, and integration of k-20 teaching materials that support teachers and UFDC overall.

Marilyn is an excellent PI for this project with her expert knowledge on usability and educational resources and with her role as the Assistant Head of the Education Library where she regularly collaborates with teaching and learning faculty and researchers. Indeed, one of the early goals for UFDC was to include more teaching materials and to conduct outreach for UFDC to k-20 teachers. This has been done with meaningfut positive impacts for the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) Teachers Collection (www.dloc.com/teach). Spanish Colonial St. Augustine: A Resource for Teachers (www.ufdc.ufl.edu/teachers).andothers.This was also started more generally with an Education collection that has not yet been developed (www.ufdc.ufl.edu/edmod1) and which Marilyn's grant would develop. Marilyn's grant proposal meets the goals of the mini grant program - to provide the resources and a framework to create a pilot project which can then be used to jump-start a larger program and to be able to seek external funding for larger awards to continue to grow needed programs. Marilyn has already been collaborating with Bess to frame this project within a larger program, and they have identified several additional possible funding sources, including the Library of Congress program for Teaching with Primary Sources and the Florida Humanities Council for their granting programs that supporting teaching about Florida.

This mini grant project will enhance UFDC and the collections of the Smathers Libraries overall by adding resources for teachers and by laying the foundation for future work with k-20 educational materials, and for working with educators and researchers in teaching and learning. I strongly support this mini grant for its alignment with the mini grant program goals and the goals of the Smathers Libraries.

Sincerely,

Ochoa,Marilyn N

From: Kumar,Swapna Sent: Friday, October 12, 2012 10:02 AM To: Ochoa,Marilyn N Subject: Letter of Support

Dear Grants Management Committee Members:

I am writing to support Marilyn Ochoa's mini grant project to develop resources that use UF Digital Collections (UFDC) content for K-20 classroom use. In my role as a faculty member in the Educational Technology Program of the College of Education who teaches courses on the development of online and blended learning environments, I can assist Marilyn's team in recruiting an instructional designer and educators to develop educational materials. The planned resources include an educational module to teach educators how to find and use primary sources within UFDC, how to use them appropriately. They also plan to develop standards-based thematic units, lesson plans and activities that use the UFDC content.

A collaboration between educators and an instructional designer for the development of educational resources is not uncommon. While the educator is a subject-matter expert identifying what needs to be learned, the instructional designer analyzes the needs of the learners and the context and creates appropriate materials and assessments using new media.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you, Swapna Kumar

From: Sullivan, Mark V Sent: Friday, October 12, 2012 9:50 AM To: Ochoa, Marilyn N Subject: Email of Support / Commitment

Marilyn,

I look forward to providing the service necessary to support your mini-grant application 'Developing a UFDC Teacher Resources Collection.'

In support of this project my IT unit will provide a new search screen for this collection, highlighting the specific metadata elements which will be employed in this project ( primarily new vocabulary/controlled lists for target audience and subjects). These changes will not take very much time and will serve as an excellent teaching opportunity for my new staff.

In addition, we commit to helping to pull and evaluate usage statistics once the work is complete and we can begin to assess the usability of the interface.

Thank you for the opportunity to work on this excellent project and assist in providing a resource for teachers.

Ochoa, MiniGrant Application 2012 Developing a UFDC Teacher Resources Collection

Appendix C: Example Standards Linked to Resources

Standard:

4th grade Social Studies

SS.4.A.5.1

Describe Florida's involvement (secession, blockades of ports, the battles of Ft. Pickens, Olustee, Ft. Brooke, Natural

Bridge, food supply) in the Civil War.

Related UFDC Resource:

Collection: Florida and the Civil War

Title: Duren, Charles M. to his Father, February 27, 1864 - Jacksonville, Fla.

**A civil war soldier writes to his father 7 days after the famous battle of Olustee.

http://ufdc.ufl.edu/llF00093576/00002

Activity: Students (acting as historians) will use the Library of Congress Analyzing Manuscripts Guide as they observe,

reflect and question the primary source in groups of 3-4. After generating a list of questions they will switch from the

historian role to the role of researcher and seek answers to their questions using textbooks and library databases. Finally,

they will then write their own letter home from the perspective of a civil war soldier experiencing the same battle.

Standard:th9 grade Social Studies

SS.912.A.7.5

Compare nonviolent and violent approaches utilized by groups (African Americans, women, Native Americans, Hispanics)

to achieve civil rights.

Related UFDC Resources:

Collection: University of Florida Archives

Title: Riot at 13th St. and University Ave.; fire in middle of intersection

http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00034507/00001

Collection: University of Florida Archives

Title: Peaceful protest against discrimination outside College Inn across from UF campus.

http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00033440/00001

Activity: Students will compare and contrast the two photographs, make reflections based on prior knowledge and generate a list of questions about the events taking place. They will then seek to answer their questions using newspaper databases and other secondary sources. Finally, students will write reflection papers about the effectiveness and impact of such protest methods.

Example Primary Source Sets

While many educators can greatly benefit from the primary source documents available through the UFDC, it can be difficult to locate every related resource among 7 million pages of content, especially when those resources may not be cataloged thoroughly. This is where materials organized by thematic unit (pulled together by educators) can make a significant impact for the time pressured teacher.

See the following primary source set examples from the Library of Congress:

Mini Grant Proposal

Developing a UFDC Teacher Resources Collection - Marilyn Ochoa, PI

Interview questions developed by the Grants Management Committee

1. "K-12" and "K-20"are used interchangeably ... Is there any inconsistency here when these 2

groups are mentioned? lhe GMC members request clarification.

The Teacher Resources Collection will ultimately include educational resources that will be useful for the kindergartener through university level. In this initial development, we plan to focus on kindergarten to twelfth grade levels, hiring K12 educators who will produce the exemplary resources. A training resource will be written by the project team focused on use of digital library content for K12, but may be used by K20 educators, as well as researchers, and academic and public librarians as well.

2. Are practicing teachers going to be designing these curricula or are the students in the

College of Ed going to do this? Who is the audience and who are the creators of the lesson

plans?

Hired/invited educators designing the initial exemplary educational resources (a combination of lesson plans, presentations, activities/assignments/games, worksheets, teacher guides, and assessments, etc. in both individual and unit form) may be past, current, or incoming educators who may be practicing or student teachers. We will be advertising the hired educators through a variety of methods including announcements in both online and print (see section H). We will also coordinate with at least one College of Education (COE) faculty member who will announce recruitment and provide recommendations for educators to consider. Anyone responding to the position posting of hired educator will be vetted and hired with assistance from at least one COE faculty member who will review the candidates' portfolio of curricula. The hire of these educators will be a competitive process; some current students may excel at the development of curricula so we do not plan to limit the pool of candidates.

After the initial development of outstanding resources (Le. exemplary templates produced by the hired/invited educators with assistance from the instructional designer), anyone who has an interest in and knowledge of developing curricula (Le. educational resources) may submit their educational resources to the Teacher Resources Collection for review and possible inclusion. These resources will be vetted through a peer review of at least one COE faculty member and an Education Library professional staff member. We also may try to coordinate with COE faculty to make submission to the collection a part of an assignment for work already completed in the classroom.

The audience for the educational resources will include anyone who may be interested in understanding how UFOC content can support required Florida and Core State Standards. After a collection of exemplary resources are developed by the hired educators, we will open

--- ----------~--------------------------------..................... .....

16

contributions and subsequent review processes to any person with an interest in state or core standards and the use of digital resources for classroom use.

3. Will the unit topics and objectives be matched with "Common Core Standards?" Will

deliverables identify which standards apply to particular curricular activities or lesson plans?

Unit topics will cover standards as identified by the educators who develop them, including Common Core State or Florida State Standards, with the preference on the former. The deliverables will identify the appropriate standard. The intention is that every educational resource in the Teacher Education Resources Collection will have at least one standard aligned to it, and we are exploring ways to use the submission tool to encourage this.

4. Why is the project team going to Palm Beach County? Why is Bess included in the trip to

PBC?

The Palm Beach County trip will occur after the database of exemplary curricula is developed. We will showcase the UFDC, training resources for teachers on fair use, and the exemplary curricula which can include lesson plans, presentations, activities/assignments/games, worksheets, teacher guides, assessments, and thematic units among other types of educational resources that use UFDC content and are linked to standards.

Palm Beach County is the 5th largest school district in Florida and 11th largest in the continental US based on number of schools and students served (187 schools, serving 174,004 (Total K-12) students, see http://news.palmbeach.k12.fl.us/pao/2012/08/13/palmbeach-county-earns-academically-h igh-performing-school-district-desig nation-2/). The significance of these statistics is that there is a large pool of educators who we can reach to use the UFDC in the training we propose, and who would benefit from a collection of educational materials that link to their curricula.

Bess connected the PI to Keith Oswald, director of K-12 curriculum and Louise Grant, executive director of the Pew Public Education Fund, who may be able to provide funding for future development of the project. We had a conversation with Laurie Taylor and Bess, and Bess' continuing participation would be essential to facilitate the conversation and partnership with the county educational leaders as well as the executive director of the Pew Fund. In 2005-06, Bess provided consulting services to facilitate the development of a county-wide arts education plan for the school district with funding from Pew.

6. Was there supposed to be any other information provided by Keith Oswald? Is there any

more detail available for his involvement in the project?

An additional brief letter from Superintendent Oswald is attached as Appendix MGCQ A

http:http://www.oercommons.orghttp:http://free.ed.govhttp://news.palmbeach.k12.fl.us/pao/2012/08/13/palm

17

7. What will the deliverable look like and what will it do? Is this a database of lesson plans? Is

Appendix C an example of the deliverable? Please specify. The deliverables will vary (see Appendix MGCQ B. Variety of educational resources created using digital library content for an example from the Library of Congress). We plan to allow educators to develop lesson plans, presentations, activities/assignments/games, worksheets, teacher guides, assessments, and thematic units among other types of educational resources that use UFDC content and are linked to standards. We are not limiting the type of materials that may be included, as the educators who develop them are subject and classroom experts and will understand how UFDC resources can be used individually or in combination to meet specific standards. Other deliverables include teacher guides that explain such things as how to use UFDC resources, or how to use content in setting up bulletin boards, etc. on a specific theme.

Generally speaking, lesson plans are the details of the course instruction, providing content and sequence of the lesson (see Appendix MGCQ C. Example Lesson Plan). Lesson plans guide class discussion, and the details may vary depending on teacher preference, subject or standard selected, and needs in the classroom. Typical lesson plans will include subject/content area, target group, duration, standards met, objectives, materials, procedures/activity, arrangements for differentiation by task or assignment, assessment tool and rubric of understanding of content, resources and reflection.

Other educational resources may include presentations, ready to use activities, and thematic sets (see Appendix MGCQ D. Other Examples), Activities are exercises to be undertaken by the learner with a specific learning outcome; we hope that standards will be included, and this resource will essentially be a stripped down version of the lesson plan activity without such elements as assessments, differentiation, resources and reflection.

Thematic units involve groupings of resources for a particular subject or topic and can originate from multiple UFDC collections. For example, unit for civil war in Florida may contain UFDC resources from History and Heritage and Florida and the Civil War collections. How this information is presented in the interface has yet to be decided; the units could be in the form of a special section of the collection that will house these "thematic mini-collections" (such as the Library of Congress' themes (see Appendix MGCQ D) or the items selected from units could be linked in a single lesson plan.

We are proposing that the College of Education faculty members (e.g. Drs. Kumar and Gallingane)working with the project team will help to facilitate the development of a template for lesson plans. Since lesson plans are only one type of educational resource that may be ingested into this collection, we will secure guidance on developing templates for other resources as well. These suggested templates may reside in an "Information for Contributors" section of the collection interface. In addition, links to the Florida State and Common Core State standards will be included, along with some links to resources within UFDC that can be used to support any particular standard.

8. How will this project impact or relate to laurie Taylor's current mini grant project?

18

The Teacher Resources Collection will allow the Education Library to build new content in the form of educational resources (a combination of lesson plans, presentations, activities/assignments/games, worksheets, teacher guides, and assessments, etc. in both individual and unit form). Laurie's grant proposal project for developing holistic supports will provide templates for developing additional resources, templates, and times/costs for the non-production aspects of supporting digital collections activities. The Teacher Resources Collection project complements Laurie's project. Both offer ways to support use, research, and teaching with the digital collections, instead of being focused on digital production. She is developing information on the back end work for digital collection building, whereas we are developing resources that are used to support classroom activities using content of UFDC.

9. Is it your goal to add linkages to standards to existing collections? Is it your goal to add

linkages to standards to future collections?

The database of various educational materials will include information about standards connected to the content in UFDC. Since the UFDC is a huge, multi-disciplinary collection, it is difficult to know what collections may contain resources that might meet the appropriate standard. The project team cannot examine each item in UFDC to identify how each item may work with a standard. Instead, we will have educators run searches in the collections for items that may be used to support meeting a specific standard and ultimately, learning objective. The annual competition will raise awareness of UFDC resources, encourage browsing in UFDC to develop resources and link to collections. Although a deliverable such as a lesson plan may have a UFDC item listed in the database contents (e.g. in lesson plans as a "material required"), a consideration during database development will be determining how to ensure that individual items are link from the item citation information to the lesson itself; this may not be easily automated.

Future collections will benefit from having the Collection in place. Grant applications to develop new collections may articulate the development of educational resources that are linked to standards. Planning a workflow for this linking of new content to standards will need to be addressed during database development.

In moving forward, new educational resources inclusion should be facilitated by the project principle investigator or other professional Education Library staff, with the assistance of College of Education faculty who have expressed a need for this type of curricula collection.

10. Who is participating in the peer review process? When does this occur in the timeline? Are

these the same people who will be involved in deciding the competitive award?

The policy guiding acceptance consists of an ongoing peer review (of at least two reviewers) by a combination of Education Library professional staff and College of Education (COE) faculty or graduate students prior to release and inclusion in the open collection. The initial collection of outstanding resources will be peer reviewed in March and April 2013 by the project team and COE faculty and students).

19

The peer review process for the competition submissions will also be juried by Education Library professional staff member with the subject-appropriate COE faculty or doctoral students in July 2013.

Any subsequent contributions to the collection that result after the competition also will be vetted by an Education Library professional staff member and subject appropriate COE faculty or doctoral student.

11. Is it $500jlesson plan? How many lesson plans are anticipated to be developed?

The honorarium is intended to compensate for the body of work produced. The resources produced may include lesson plans, activities/assignments/games, worksheets, teacher guides, assessments, and thematic units among other types of educational resources that use UFDC content and are linked to standards. We will negotiate with the hired subject educators on what types of example resources and the number needed to be produced and the, but we anticipate multiple resources will be produced.

12. Is the IIlesson plan" and IIresource" the same? No, lesson plans are just one possible resource that could be included in this collection. The search interface will include search criteria specific to the collection; searching will be possible via subject, keyword, grade level, and educational standard to which the resource has been aligned. Another search field specify type of resource.
