Purpose
This assignment provides an early feedback opportunity for one of the two large products required in this course. The rationale for this assignment and full explanation for each of the three components are given in the Program Development & Evaluation Plan (PDEP) description. Your first step in completing this Draft should be to read the PDEP description thoroughly.

In this exercise, you will work as a group to create some early elements needed for the big Project. Full credit is given for complete assignments, along with qualitative formative feedback. We expect you to apply this feedback in your completed Project.

Overview
This preliminary task requires you to submit some background information and complete first draft of the Philosophy and Mission Statement. Then, it requires you to draft the most critical part of the Plan - the Goals, Objectives, and evaluations for these.

Components (click here for the full list of components)

Brief description of target school and its media center learning environment; include school mission or goals
Media Center Philosophy and Mission Statement
List of Goals for the media program (long-range)
List of Objectives for the media program (short-range)
List of evaluation methods or techniques or measures for each Objective

Guidelines

Again, make sure to read the entire assignment - many hints and suggestions are embedded.
The most difficult part of this assignment has always been alignment of Goals, Objectives, and evaluation. A table is provided below to help you visualize this alignment. You need not be bound by this format, however; other teams in the past have used an outline method very successfully. Make sure that Objectives flow from Goals and that evaluation measures Objectives.
Although I have sketched three objectives per goal, this is an arbitrary choice. You may have more or less than that. The ideal number of Goals seems to be four to eight (based solely on experience).
The more you put into a Draft, the more valuable feedback you get back. Do your best; you have nothing to lose, but much to gain.

Suggested Goal Table

Goals	Objectives	Evaluation
Goal 1	Objective 1a	Evaluation 1a
	Objective 1b	Evaluation 1b
	Objective 1c	Evaluation 1c
Goal 2	Objective 2a	Evaluation 2a
	Objective 2b	Evaluation 2b
	Objective 2c	Evaluation 2c
etc.

Submission Format

I envision a single Word document for this Draft. Please post to your assignment pages for ease of grading; you may later replace this Draft with the final Project.
Each group member should submit the draft to their own dropbox. (It should be the same for each! I will look at only one copy.)
Remember to number pages.
