Body:

The following model assumes not only that the communication practices of each department are distinct but also that the institutional and professional constraints on faculty in each department are somewhat different. Consequently, this model will need to be adjusted to meet the special circumstances that distinguish the culture of each department.

<h3>Stage I: Orientation</h3>
<em>Orient departmental representatives</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<ul>
<li>Make introductions</li>
<li>Disseminate consulting philosophy</li>
<li>Discuss disciplinary goals, concerns, etc.</li>
</ul>
<em>Convene departmental faculty</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<ul>
<li>Introduce consultants to faculty</li>
<li>Provide opportunity for brief Q/A<br />
	(Consultant/faculty interactions will be reported to entire faculty.)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Stage II: Data Gathering</h3>
<em>Gather data with the assistance of departmental representatives</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<em>Identify parameters for WOVe integration (undergrad, grad, core courses, all courses, etc.)</em>
	
<em>Gather data via e-mail requesting curricular information from participating faculty</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<em>Identify current and needed communication practices</em>
<ol>
<li>What do students do when they graduate?</li>
<li>What communication skills are needed by students (for academic and professional success)?</li>
<li>What current communication experiences are offered?</li>
<li>What current assessment practices measure these experiences?</li>
<li>What challenges exist regarding integration/infusion of communication experiences into courses/curriculum?</li>
</ol>
<h3>Stage III: Synthesis of data and development of recommendations</h3>
<em>Synthesize collected data</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<em>Develop preliminary recommendations for implementation</em>
<ol>
<li>Map WOVe activities currently part of the curriculum</li>
<li>Identify faculty-designated communication goals for academic and career success</li>
</ol>	
<em>Report results and plan implementation with participating faculty and departmental representatives</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<em>Review recommendations with faculty
Refine/modify recommendations as needed
Develop final recommendations and settle on a plan of action to implement</em>

<h3>Stage IV:	Implementation</h3>
<em>Implement recommendations (e.g., conduct workshops, arrange individual consulting, meet with curriculum committee, develop print and Web materials)</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<em>Schedule and conduct implementation activities</em>

<h3>Stage V: Assessment and “Re-Analysis”</h3>
<em>Assess implemented activities</em>
<h4>Objectives</h4>
<em>Develop assessment strategies 
Collect assessment data
Work with departmental representatives and participating faculty to interpret assessment data</em>
(Feedback loop:  Return to Stage II as necessary)
