Reflection
This is the most important part. Look at the reflections of each of your team's writers. Identify areas for growth for the team. Set 3-5 second semester goals for your writing team. Provide the goal AND the reason why it is important. Also, provide a sentence or two to determine how you will evaluate the completion of this goal. Example:
- One goal I have for my writers next semester is that we will do a better job of talking to a diverse group of people for our stories. We do an adequate job of talking to student athletes, but we don't always get the coach's voice and presenting those perspectives is important. For our second semester stories, I will make sure to encourage my writers talk to a coach, and before we publish a story I will make sure we have that perspective.
- A second goal I have for our team is to incorporate more graphs and charts into our reporting. This is important because we can tell a deeper story with stats. The way I will implement and evaluate this goal, is when we brainstorm stories, I will make sure to discuss with writers how we have an expectation for this new form of information sharing.
