In the future, we should tie it more tightly to the About the Author and make it clear to writers that what they write there will be used for it. Maybe we would even invite commissioned text writers to submit their own bios now that we have guidelines and samples. Though I also think many writers are happy to simply approve or provide edits to a draft we provide.]]> 2021-05-13 15:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1521421206 Getting author headshots https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1521428967 We're working through this, but we had a lot to learn. Getting headshots for commissioned writers should be smoother next time around since we now have guidelines. Getting headshots for authors of permissioned texts is still in progress.]]> 2021-05-13 15:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1521428967 Separating passage and Lesson editing https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1521435944 I miss how well it worked to have the passage editors also work on the lesson for those texts, though I know the way we divided the work was necessary for the project timeline. I'm curious about the commissioned texts and how well they're working for the skills being taught - especially the BSC lessons.]]> 2021-05-13 15:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1521435944 https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1521439751 Stakeholders or A&E would indicate when an authenticity/sensitivity review was needed. It told us when we would need it, but sometimes led to confusion about what each kind of review means and how to incorporate feedback that contradicted stakeholders' feedback. Need to level set when to ask and why, especially with a limited amount of reviewers and experiences on the panel. We end up asking the same people frequently for reviews.]]> 2021-05-13 15:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1521439751 Metadata Diversity Report https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1522070982 With all the existing Phoenix 3-5 passages, our metadata team created the diversity report about which representations are lacking or off the DEI target ranges. I believe the data helped our commissioned passage writers to pitch their topics. Meanwhile, we're constantly updating the metadata base with all the new passages. I wonder how to better use this diversity report to help decide our future topics.]]> 2021-05-13 17:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1522070982 Reviews https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1522123565 Many reviews took place after the passages are finalized, like the CCRTL's reviews. Although it is helpful to see comments from experts and benefit future passage writing, I'm not sure how the comments can help with our current projects. Revamp is needed but we don't usually have schedules for it. ]]> 2021-05-13 17:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1522123565 Fact-Checking https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1531791174 For some informational passages, there are complex topics with data...and fact-checking is necessary, but there are some challenges. Can it be solved through a more focused authenticity review?]]> 2021-05-17 15:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1531791174 Ownvoices informational texts https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1531812774 Informational texts are often heavily edited or we CA has a lot of input about which topics will work or not work. This has to be made clear upfront, especially when working with new writers.]]> 2021-05-17 15:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1531812774 CLR/ownvoices/antiracism https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1531898953 Thank you to Laura for recruiting a diverse range of writers! I think it's great that we have so many ethnicities and cultures represented. But when brainstorming with writers, it's still a bit awkward when we discuss whether and how to feature the writer's culture. It would be helpful if the lesson team could establish beforehand what exactly we are looking for. ]]> 2021-05-17 15:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1531898953 Writers https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1531960019 Some ideas for working with writers in the future: 
1. Would we consider rolling submissions for some writers? We can provide themes and topics. 
2. We need to hire more LGBTQ+ and BIPOC writers—their texts don’t have to be about culture and identity.

Some of this was unavoidable since we were learning new things as we went along and had to adjust for them, but creating more time up front to revamp process might help. ]]> 2021-05-17 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1532273972 end of day design meetings being used for passage discussions cduncan12 https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1532323753 2021-05-17 17:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cduncan12/9xm5ce765umqwtrl/wish/1532323753
