SUMMARY:Social Science Basics: Writing Effective Survey Questions
DESCRIPTION:Take this course if you… \n\nAre not trained in survey design but are tasked with administering surveys.\nWould like to develop a more critical eye for what “good” survey questions look like\, and how to maximize feedback.\n\nAbout the Course\nSurveys are a popular information collection tool to help coastal managers understand their stakeholders and quickly assess large populations. Unfortunately\, because of their popularity\, many people untrained in survey creation administer poorly designed surveys that yield questionable results. This workshop serves to provide coastal managers and environmental professionals with best practices to write more effective survey questions. If your background is not in the social sciences but you nonetheless find yourself in the position of crafting surveys\, this workshop is for you! \nWorkshop attendees will learn how to: \n\nReview and critique surveys\, and identify common mistakes in question design\nIncorporate 25 best practices when creating survey questions\nCreate appropriate question layout and design\nIdentify ways to improve survey questions that yield desired data types\n\nAbout the Speakers\nChris Ellis\, PhD\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nChris is a social scientist with NOAA’s National Ocean Service\, based in Charleston\, SC. His training is in environmental sociology\, survey design and implementation\, recreation and tourism choice behavior\, organizational behavioral networks\, and social-psychological interaction with the coast. He has extensive experience in working with state and local municipalities to build capacity in coastal conservation\, and community resilience. He also has a portfolio of projects that lend technical assistance to the National Weather Service to enhance its social science capacity. Working currently for NOAA\, and formerly for both the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Park Service\, he has gained unique perspectives of how the public and institutions understand\, perceive\, and use natural resources\, particularly in coastal areas. He is an adjunct faculty member at the College of Charleston\, where he works with students on an array of human dimensions-based research topics. Chris received his PhD in 2005 from East Carolina University. \nBrenna Sweetman\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nBrenna is social scientist with NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management based at the National Water Center in Tuscaloosa\, AL. Her work focuses on integrating social science to support sound decision-making to address complex coastal and water resource challenges. Through partnerships\, collaboration and the integration of social and natural sciences\, she works to better understand the data\, tool and information needs to protect and maintain coastal communities\, ecosystems and economies. Prior to working with NOAA\, she worked in Central America on coastal and marine natural resource management topics and instructed environmental education. She holds a Master’s in Geography from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Spanish from the University of Pittsburgh.

SUMMARY:15 Strategies for Communicating Science and Data to Non-Scientists
DESCRIPTION:Take this course if you… \n\nDeliver science-based presentations.\nEver feel “stuck” when you design PowerPoints.\n\nAbout the Course\nDo you speak at conferences\, public meetings\, or other events where you need to convey a science-based message? Have you ever felt like you couldn’t quite hold the attention of your audience or communicate your message in a way they could understand? Would you like to learn a simpler\, more effective way to design your slides? This popular course will show you how to: \n\nPresent visuals that have impact\nUse techniques that will keep your audience engaged in both a live or virtual setting\nDeliver data in a way that sticks in people’s brains\nTransform the way you do PowerPoint\n\nAbout the Speaker\nCathy Angell\, M.Ed.\, is the owner of Cathy Angell Communications and specializes in presentation design and delivery for scientists\, educators\, and public officials. Cathy’s trainings are offered both in-person and online. She was the former coordinator of Washington’s Coastal Training Program\, considered to be one of the most successful training programs in the country for coastal managers. Cathy is nationally known for her transformative methods and received a communications award from NOAA which is given out each year in her honor.
