Serving on Groups That Make Decisions: A Guide for Families. Year Developed: 2023. Source: WI FACETS. Presenter(s): Jan Serak. Type: Webinar. Level: Introductory. Length: 60 minutes per training.

Annotation: Sections 1 & 2: Do you want to join or become more involved in a committee or council, but are not sure where to begin or which group would be a good fit for you? Do you wonder what the different functions are of decision-making groups and what the members' roles are within these groups? Serving on Groups is a nationally recognized leadership tool that empowers parents to actively and fully participate in decision-making groups. Section 3: The most effective groups use processes to guide their work, and a clear process sets the direction toward the group's goals. So many times, we are on committees or in meetings but don't know what is supposed to happen or how to fully participate. Sections 4 & 5: Are you a member of a committee or council that needs to be more efficient? What makes a committee or council effective? How can group dynamics improve? Section 6: So many times, we are on committees or in meetings but don't know what the process is or how to fully participate, especially when it comes to data. This introductory webinar on data is based on the Serving on Groups that Make Decisions Guidebook resource. The highlight of the revised Guidebook is a section entitled Understanding Data as Information. We live in a world with more available data than ever before. In education, using data is a powerful tool to determine if schools’ efforts are working and if students are meeting their goals. This section provides eight steps to assist you and other group members in making well-informed data-based decisions to improve the experiences of children. It also contains numerous resources for you to access and explore relevant data for your family and community. Sections 7 & 8: Do you want to be more involved in a decision-making group but are not sure where to begin? Are you tired of feeling like the token representative instead of an active member of a decision-making group?

Inclusive Research: Engaging People Closest to the Issue Makes for Better Science & Greater Impact. Year Developed: 2023. Source: National Institutes of Justice. Presenter(s): Ronald Day, Henrika McCoy, Megan Denver, Chas Moore, and Linda Seabrook. Type: Presentation. Level: Introductory. Length: 63 minutes.

Annotation: This panel will discuss what inclusive research is, how to conduct it, and what issues and challenges exist about engaging in it. “Inclusive research” has its history as a participatory research method designed to ensure people closest to the issue or problem under study are authentically engaged in the research process rather than simply being “research subjects.” While community-based participatory research has begun to take on greater prominence in the criminal justice realm, such efforts are largely confined to qualitative research inquiries. This panel makes the case that inclusive research can and should apply to a wider array of research questions and methods and that employing it can yield more accurate and policy-relevant evidence. Panelists will also engage in a “myth busting” discussion to address possible challenges to conducting inclusive research and how to overcome them.

Learning Objectives: • Outline what inclusive research is. • Illustrate how to use inclusive research. • Express how to overcome barriers.
