SynthesisDiscussionTry for a wrap-up synthesis session at the end of the week? To tie up any loose ends, make plans for next steps for working together, etc? Kari recommends this - although I'm not entirely attached. Just something for us to consider!! I like this idea-Pamela, HFR

?Data literacy Workshop in sLTER data managementImproving the way we manage data collected in SLTER activities, possibly with participation of IM and other invited collaborators.XAlan: I doubt we'll get IM folks to participate on Sunday since that's likely to be their meeting time, too. I think this is superseded by the activity in row 17.
6
**Data literacyProduct/DemoWorkshop in Data Analysis tools for studentsInvite product and platform developers to share their student-friendly tools/apps for entering and analyzing data, e.g., Tuva, CODAPAlan BerkowitzxXAlan: The idea here is to showcase new platforms for working with data, ideally presented by guests from TUVA, CODAP, Serenity and/or others. This activity could be combined with the activity on line 14. IF we invite an outside person (or more), we might want to dedicate most of the time to her/his presentation; thus, 14 might be a separate session.

?Data literacyDiscussionWorking with data - how do different sites accomplish this?
Novel methods for collection and analysis in informal settings		Pam Snow (HFR)
Kari 		XHappy to share our model- Janice McDonnell-PAL
Alan: I'm happy to help with this. Should it be combined with line 8, ie. presentation(s) by guests about platforms, or separate, with LTER Ed folks presenting or facilitating?
Alan and Kari: could this focus on PD, on data collection, ... i.e., how could it be crafted to not overlap with the others proposed here? Clarisse: Can undergrad audiences as learners be added here?
8
?Data literacyGuestEddy Flux Data Nugget Pam Snow (HFR)XAlan: could this be combined with the workshop on 9? Clarisse/Pamela: Yes! But we think it belongs on line 11.

***Data literacyGuests, In-houseMaking LTER Data Accessible and Useful for Students and EducatorsWorking with LTER Data Sets: sharing how to work with data, discussing new tools and platforms for data exploration - for LTER educators, EDI staff, developers of data visualization and analysis platforms (e.g. Concord/CODAP, TUVA, QUBES/Serenity)
Alan Berkowitz (BES)
Pam Snow (HFR)
XKari willing to help with this one.
Alan: I think this is a very exciting opportunity to collaborate with EDI folks and push the envelope in our thinking and possibly build new collaborations. Clarisse/Pamela: We'd be happy to share our online database, which has cool graphing capabilities and was built by our IM - but if something was custom developed for a site, is it even relevant to share?
10
?Data literacyOne or two workshops led by LTER Ed RepsData Jams and/or Data Nuggets1-2 workshops for sites that don’t currently offer Data Jams or do Data Nuggets, Time to actually do a mini-data jam and/or start a Data NuggetXWould love to hear more about this - Janice McDonnell PAL, It seems to me this could be two separate topics. LIZ PIE; Steph Bestelmeyer (JRN) happy to help with the Data Jam piece of this - perhaps it could be combined with one of the other proposed sessions (e.g. Eddy Flux Data Nugget) Pamela/Clarisse: The hands-on aspect of this is useful, although some sites may not be able to make concrete progress because it's complicated to work with LTER datasets! Many Ed Reps have heard extensively about these either in monthly calls or at past ASMs. If we have a session on this, could it be concurrent with another option -- OR, if it's for the whole group, could it be less hands on and more of an update on new data nuggets or inspiriations in data jams, rather than an extensive review of each basic concept?

?Data Literacysymposium/discussionResearch in data literacy - supporting students' data sense makingPresentations by Data Nuggets, Data Jam (with research results) and other collaborators with research results, followed by a discussion.Kari O'Connell
Alan Berkowitz		xDiscussion of lessons learned for engaging students and teachers in working with data. Our experience and literature review. What do we know from the literature to support kids using data and implications for sites supporting kids using data in their sites. What are areas of research that we might want to work on together based on all this? Pamela/Clarisse: We could talk about our process in building one from a signature LTER dataset at our site, but wouldn't have much to offer in terms of lessons learned (yet!). Would be very happy to partner on this.
12
DiversityGuest?Engaging culturally diverse students and developing culturally responsive curricula
Marilyn Sigman (NGA)
XKari O'Connell sent out that info about the FIELD Project (Fieldwork Inspiring Expanded Leadership and Diversity) Course. Maybe a speaker from their group?

***Formal ed cxnsGuestUsing the Childrens' Book Series as Inspiration for Development of CurriculumChildren's Book Series - curriculum development seminarJill Haukos (KNZ) Alex Rose (NWT)XJill: I would like to invite two guests to assist with this workshop - Brad and Carol Williamson each have a broad background in the development of curriculum at different academic levels. Alex Rose (NWT) is willing to help with this!; Steph Bestelmeyer (JRN) also willing to help with this one

SynthesisDiscussionSynthesis in EducationConnecting all of the LTER sites with a common experience/methodology that can result in shared data. e.g. weather data, other student-generated datasets

UndergradsGuestDistributed Course - development of a common online course between all LTER sitesXAlan: this was really Art's idea and would need a new champion to move forward. If there's enough interest, we could schedule a session and see if a leader emerges at the ASM.
19
UndergradsOne or two workshops led by LTER Ed RepsSharing best practices in LTER-based REUsThis could address topics of interest (e.g., from a poll) with insights and results from UFERN and others on:
1. mentoring
2. recruting
3. assessment
