Feedback, Observation, Defense

The following Dossiers were used for the written reflection below.

• Stephanie Galvan Russell

• Mary L. Gutierrez

• Karina Quilantan-Garza

• James Wilson

The following areas received feedback and I have listed what I've done to address the feedback:

Candidate Statement

• Knowledge & Expertise: You have identified expertise you will need outside your primary focus area. Be more specific about what you are doing to acquire or improve in these areas.

  • • I added more specfic detail to include specific courses, skillsets, and self-directed learning (reading/conferences) that will address my areas in need of improvement.

    • I also added direct correlations to goals and competencies for each artifact section in the three required sections: Scholarship, Learning Design, and Service.

Scholarship

• Introduction: Be specific about how your scholarly efforts connect to your research agenda (focus area). Provide an explanation of what competencies related to scholarship you need to reach your identified goal(s). Describe how you have met each competency and/or are working toward addressing each competency needed and how each artifact you have included supports the acquisition of a competency.

  • • I added content to my introduction, including the How It Fits paragraph that describes how the competencies addressed in my evidence demonstrated the needs stated in my professional goals and the belief statements in the introduction of the section.

    • I added anecdotal comments on many of the artifacts addressing how they relate to the goals and competencies discussed in the introductory section.

    • I also added direct correlations to goals and competencies for each artifact section in the three required sections: Scholarship, Learning Design, and Service.

• Literature Reviews: Two literature reviews were not included in the draft submission. For the final dossier submission, include your two best literature reviews. If they are part of a full paper, either only submit the literature review portion or highlight (call attention to) the portion you want evaluated. Also, if they are part of a collaborative effort, be sure to describe your contributions.

  • • I have not been asked to write a true literature review for a single class in this program. I am writing one literature review on my own using the Perdue OWL website as a guide. I chose to include an annotated bibliography and several individual research study reviews based on methodologies. If there is time, I will write a second literature review to include prior to the due date for the Dossier.

• Research Paper: A research manuscript was not included in the draft submission. For final dossier submission, research should be conducted and submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication consideration.

  • • I have added the research paper and submission screenshot/documentation.

• Presentation: A conference presentation was not included in the draft submission. For final dossier submission, include a copy of a recent conference presentation and/or conference program noting your presentation.

  • • Several presentations including an upcoming presentation were added.

• Supplementary: Please explain what supplementary artifacts are included and how they show evidence in support of the acquisition of the scholarly competencies you have identified as important. Evidence achieved during the doctoral program of study is preferred; work from up to two years prior to admission is acceptable.

  • • Supplementary evidence identified by what goal and focus area addressed has been added to the page. I do have some work older than two years, but only because I also have evidence prior to the two year deadline. The older work is included because I believe it is relevent and demonstrates my competency in the area.

Learning Design

• Introduction: Be explicit about how the evidence you offer connects to specific competencies you need in learning design.

  • • How it Fits section completed.

    • I also added direct correlations to goals and competencies for each artifact section in the three required sections: Scholarship, Learning Design, and Service

• Instructional Plan &  Training Materials: Good plan. For the final dossier submission, include instructional artifacts that you created for the internship.

  • • Evidence identified by what goal and focus area addressed has been added to the page.

• Evaluations: Good plan. For final dossier submission, include evaluation results.

  • • Evaluations were added.

• Supplementary: Good plan. For the final dossier submission, include artifacts.

  • • Supplementary evidence identified by what goal and focus area addressed has been added to the page. I do have some work older than two years, but only because I also have evidence prior to the two year deadline. The older work is included because I believe it is relevent and demonstrates my competency in the area.

Service

• Good explanation of your perspective of scholarly service activity. Also, explain how your service supports your professional goals and focus area.

  • • How it Fits section completed.

    • I also added direct correlations to goals and competencies for each artifact section in the three required sections: Scholarship, Learning Design, and Service

• Documentation: Great contributions to the field! Can you include documentation for your service specifically?

  • • Documentation added - anectdotal comments to show relevence.

• Supplementary: Good plan. For the final dossier submission, include supplementary artifacts. Provide an explanation of how the supplementary service connects to your goals and focus area.

  • • Supplementary evidence identified by what goal and focus area addressed has been added to the page. I do have some work older than two years, but only because I also have evidence prior to the two year deadline. The older work is included because I believe it is relevent and demonstrates my competency in the area.

1. Briefly summarize your long-range goals presented in your dossier. What is the most significant competency you have acquired to support their acquisition, and how was it developed? What major competency do you still need to acquire or hone to reach these goals, and what is your plan for the development?

2. In the context of your research agenda, discuss how your efforts to share experiences and resources will address the challenges posed by the evolving funding requirements, specifically considering the changes and expectations outlined in recent legislative measures, institutional policies, or other relevant financial dynamics influencing higher education funding.
