Candidates will apply systemic approaches to close identified gaps in human performance.
MEDT 8465 Human Performance Improvement
The Human Performance Video is an introduction to the human performance problem that my team and I identified as a performance gap with our client. The video gives a quick overview of our approach to solving the problem. We discuss the issue, causes, and outline what data components we analyzed to identify the gap that relates to the media center.

The artifact is the full HPI project, but we will be examining Part 1 from pages 1 - 11. The artifact gives an in-depth look at the performance gap at Coleman Middle School. The following pages include the executive summary and the Performance Data Collection Alignment table. It also gives a full description of the demographics of the school and how the media center is currently being underused by the teachers and the students.
Participating in the HPI project research and data collection showed me that when there is a problem in a school, it falls into two categories: individual or environment. If it's an environmental issue, it typically impacts several groups. There are different strategies that can be used to identify the problem. Two of the most popular methods are surveying staff and conducting interviews. I intend to apply the steps from the HPI project in my own practice as a media specialist, using data to support my decisions to implement initiatives in the media center. I also learned that short videos can be effective in communicating to large groups a problem I find and how to solve it.
