Since the start of the current NSF funding, we have been asking leaders in MTEP (campus leaders, team leaders, change agents, change coaches) to log their MTEP-related activities every two weeks. One year in, what do these leadership logs show?
Two-thirds of the time, leaders log at least one activity. Over half of the interactions occur via video conference/Zoom, with about one-fifth each being via email or in person. In logging who was involved, about 30% of the interactions were with a small group (subset of the MTEP NIC), with individual, one-on-one, and whole team meetings each comprising approximately 15-20%.
Leaders regularly report engaging in all of the activities we envisioned: local driver diagram, PDSA cycles, student success, accreditation, managing team personnel and power dynamics, policy discussions, diversity/equity/inclusion/social justice, dissemination efforts, planning for future activities, connecting across NICs/MTEP, structure of the teacher preparation program, team/relationship building, and others.
