Building a GER Toolbox for the Educational Research Community
Develop an online GER Toolbox to address the needs of the GER community, focusing on surveys and instruments, analytical tools, getting published, navigating a career in GER, conducting GER across institutions, and translating GER results into practice. The workshop aims to serve both newcomers to GER and active GER workers based on the average ranking of perceived community needs. Explore resources like databases of published surveys and instruments, basic skills GER toolbox, mentoring by senior researchers, and more to enhance professional development in the field.

Building a GER Toolbox Starting Materials Target Toolbox Resources Pre-workshop information submitted Instruments and Surveys (things used to collect data) Analytical Tools (things used to analyze data) Getting Published Idea Papers Navigating a Career in GER Conducting GER across Institutions Translating GER Results into Practice Each target toolbox resource has a working group. Working groups should identify themes and subthemes in the starting materials. Intended audience includes active GER workers and those new to GER. We have 3 days here. Then there will be a period of editing and review. Toolbox will be hosted online by NAGT. Suggestions for efficiency and effectiveness: Each group should identify a leader and a note-taker. After brief discussion on themes, groups may want to form subgroups to address subthemes.
