This
Web Page is dedicated to linking the WSU Extension Educator to the
resources needed to accomplish his or her work. These links
will take you to other pages within the WSU system that may assist
you organize.
All
WSU Extension Educators are required to plan, carry out, evaluate
and report the results of their educational efforts. Reaching
diverse audiences is an important aspect of this work
In
order to carry out their work, WSU Extension Educators need to follow
WSU policies and procedures for travel, leave,
annual review,
tenure professional development, and development of scholarly activities.
WSU Extension
work may require developing resources in order to accomplish the
goal. These resources are useful in garnering and managing
these resources within the university system.

Planning
Each
year, all extension educators - department based and locally based
- are required to develop a Plan of Action that is negotiated with
their supervisor during annual review. WSU Extension is using
the Logic Model as an evaluation tool but it is also a fine planning
tool when used in reverse - with the end outcome in mind.
University, college, extension, and department or unit strategic
plans should also guide planning. In addition, the WSU Extension
Plan of Work will be helpful.

Reporting
WSU
Extension Educators are required to submit the following reports
as part of their employment:
WEMIS: The
Washington Extension Management Information System (WEMIS) is
designed to collect and summarize data needed to meet federal
and state accountability requirements. It also provides
summarized data to each contributor for documenting the extent
and breadth of outreach. The main value of the WEMIS data is to
allow program colleagues, such as teams or county office groups,
regularly to review their outreach to underrepresented groups
and people of color.
Annual
Plan of Work (POW)
WSU Online Review and Query System (WORQS): Annual
accomplishment reports are to be submitted online through the
WSU Online Review and Query System (WORQS) by
the date specified each year (currently mid-January) so that the
information can be used for annual reviews and WSU Extension reporting. This
is an expectation of the job.

Logic
Model: WSU
Extension places a high value on developing evaluative information
about Extension programs to share with funding decision makers.
In order to develop marketing tools that capture the impact of
our programming, WSU Extension has adopted a planning and evaluation
tool called the Logic Model. We have incorporated the Logic
Model format and language into the AICS system for both reporting
and developing plans of work. You may have noticed this
change. The Logic Model ties program planning and evaluation
to achieving and documenting outcomes or changes that occur from
an educational effort. Documenting the outcomes of an educational
program answers the question, "So what?" It is modeled
to address the difference programs make in peoples' lives and
who is affected by the programming. For definitions that
will help with an understanding of the terms of the logic model,
click on the following link: http://www1.uwex.edu/impacts/documents/glossary.pdf
WSU Extension personnel are to use the process and the language.
There is an on-line training program at the University of Wisconsin
you can access at the following website: http://www1.uwex.edu/ces/lmcourse/
