From csas007@unlvm.unl.edu Thu May 27 21:54:55 1999 Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 16:43:19 -0500 From: Heidi Carter To: sanet-mg@ces.ncsu.edu Subject: New Document Available New Document Available: Summation of Evaluations from the Workshops on Facing a Watershed: Managing Profitable and Sustainable Landscapes in the 21st Century, June and July, 1998 >From 1995 through 1998, the North Central Sustainable Agriculture Training Program (NCSATP) conducted ten workshops and three year-end planning and review meetings in eleven states. NCSATP was part of the Professional Development Program of the North Central Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program. The 1998 workshops, Facing a Watershed: Managing Profitable and Sustainable Landscapes in the 21st Century, were held in St. Charles, Illinois; Traverse City, Michigan; and Ames, Iowa. Each workshop focused on a watershed influenced by a different combination of land use pressures: urbanization, tourism, and agriculture. We wrote Summation of Evaluations for educators who design programs for sustainable agriculture and natural resource management. We are sharing our experiences of what worked and what did not to increase your success. >From reading the evaluations, we outlined general themes, listed the greatest benefits and challenges to watershed planning, and discussed the numerical ratings of the sessions. Many of the principles can be applied to organizing educational events besides watershed workshops. The document is six pages of text, with much white space, and five pages of tables. If your heart flutters at the mere mention of evaluation, contact me at 402-472-0917 or csas007@unlvm.unl.edu, and I will send a hard copy or an attachment.
