ANNOUNCEMENTS - Week 11

1 December 2000

  1. Another successful DataStreme semester, perhaps the last run at full speed, is almost wrapped up. As always, the success of the DataStreme course is due in major part to your time and efforts devoted to assisting participants, both with learning the weather content, and guiding them to become Weather Education Resource Teachers. At your final course meeting, as you reflect on the course, you should help the participants focus on their goal ahead. Please stress that we encourage their continuing use of the DataStreme Homepage, in their classes and with their colleagues. They may use the Today's Weather booklets to help with this. Be sure they realize DataStreme meteorological data are available year-round.

  2. LIT leaders should also remember to bring several extra copies of the participant evaluation that was delivered electronically as "Image 3" with Activity 11B to the final meeting for those participants who have not brought theirs. Do NOT use copies of previous semester's evaluations, use only the latest Fall 2000 electronic version.

  3. We would also appreciate all LIT leaders and LIT members taking a few moments to complete the DataStreme evaluation that is listed under: "LIT Member Evaluation", or at the top of this page, or on this week's Answer Key Homepage. Please either email (amsedu@dc.ametsoc.org) or fax (800-258-1176) your responses to DataStreme Central as soon as possible. Versions are provided for printing with your browser or handling as text for email.

  4. DataStreme Participant “Grading” Recommendations

    LIT leaders should submit by email or fax to DataStreme Central as soon as possible, but not later than 15 December 2000, a list with each participant’s name followed by one of three possible recommendations for grading (FULL, INCOMPLETE, or FAIL). The course instructor, Dr. Bob Weinbeck will acknowledge receipt of the listing via email. If recommendations are not received by 12/15, INCOMPLETE will have to be submitted for all your participants.

    LIT leaders are to arrive at the recommendations by conferring with LIT members.

    If you have uncertainties as to which category an individual participant deserves, contact Bob Weinbeck at DataStreme Central, 1-800-824-0405.

  5. Other administrative items:


  6. We will attempt to describe in next week's announcement as much as we know about the future of hte DataStreme course. We want you, our colleagues in this magnificant effort, to be aware of our attempts to put the DataStreme course on a permanent footing.
