conference. More than 300 people responded to the survey. In FY 2005, the initial analysis of the results was shared with the NMAP and in FY 2006, the analyses were completed. The results, along with feedback from the NMAP and from workshops, conferences, and internal stakeholders, were central to discussions with constituents invited to national stakeholder meetings in FY 2007 and FY 2008. To date, the public input process has focused on obtaining input on critical needs in the field of deaf education. The newly expanded process will allow the Clerc Center to obtain additional input on how the critical needs will be addressed. The Clerc Center is moving toward a revised model for public input that will be better designed to: 90 • identify the critical needs of children who are deaf and hard of hearing and of their families, • establish and refine priorities to address those needs, and • ensure Clerc Center resources are committed to research and development projects in the priority areas and are relevant and useful to consumers and constituents. For each phase, the Clerc Center must make decisions about: • which stakeholders and stakeholder groups will be solicited for public input; • what types of public input strategies are most appropriate, effective, and efficient for soliciting input at this step; and • how summaries, syntheses, and use of public input received will be communicated to the Clerc Center’s constituencies and used to guide work. Satisfaction with the input process. Satisfaction with the public input process will be determined at each step using strategies appropriate for the input collection activities used at each level. This is a departure from how satisfaction has been determined previously, where general surveys were used to assess satisfaction with the overall input process. Assessing satisfaction at each step, whether the input activity is cyclical or ongoing, will provide information that can be used for continuous improvement of the input process. Phases of National Mission Projects From the point of conception to the finished product, Clerc Center national mission projects progress through three main phases. In past years, the Clerc Center reported projects in the phases of Development, Evaluation, or Dissemination. After careful analysis, the evaluation components were found to occur as a part of development or as a part of dissemination. Since FY 2005, projects have been reported with evaluation components included under development or dissemination activities. In addition, the Ongoing Dissemination Phase was added. In this phase, projects are no longer listed in this report. Projects completing the Initial Dissemination Phase in a given fiscal year are noted as moving into ongoing dissemination and will not be listed in subsequent reports. Projects are said to be in a particular phase when one or more of the following are underway: • Development Phase o Conceptual exploration o Specification of information use o Product development o Formative evaluation
• Initial Dissemination Phase o Provision of training programs on request o Dissemination of materials in print, audiovisual, and/or electronic formats o Evaluation at external sites • Ongoing Dissemination Phase o Advertised in the Clerc Center catalog or on the Clerc Center Web site o Offered at established times through the Gallaudet University Regional Centers or through Clerc Center mechanisms Although each national mission project will complete all three phases, each progression is unique. Some projects may complete the Development Phase entirely before moving into the Initial Dissemination Phase; others may have activities in both phases simultaneously. 91
