Ensuring Quality Feedback Reports: The Tech Editing Process for 2014 Briefing for Senior and Alumni Examiners
Our Objectives • Review steps of the two phases (Part 1 and Part 2) of the tech editing process, as revised in 2013. • Share process improvements based on your input. • Point you to resources for tech editing.
2014 Tech Editing Process: Part 1 • Before the consensus call, • tech editors will review the team’s draft work (focusing on 3 areas: comment conflicts, comment/scoring alignment, andtone based on the applicant’s view); • tech editors will give direct feedback to the team leader; and • team leaders will share the feedback with the team, as appropriate.
2014 Tech Editing Process: Part 2 • After the scorebook is finalized in BOSS, • tech editors will help Baldrige staff review the quality of scorebooks (completing five comprehensive editing tasks); • team leaders may be contacted again by tech editors with questions (e.g., to clarify comments); and • team leaders may share additional feedback with the team, as appropriate.
Additional Improvements Based on Your Input (Thank you!) • Send applications to tech editors several weeks before R-3 review. • Give tech editors access to BOSS. • Allow some flexibility in tech editor/team leader communications (e.g., feedback can be posted in BOSS if agreed upon). • Be sure team leaders are aware of two-part tech editing process. • Try to keep the same tech editor with team for both phases. • Focus on fewer tasks in part 1 tech editing (2014: comment conflicts, comment/scoring alignment, tone from applicant view).
Benefits of the Two-Part Process • Applicant: Best-quality feedback • Team Leader: Feedback to improve and feedback to celebrate team’s work • Tech Editor: Time saved by noting concerns earlier in the process
Call to Action • Alumni: Please let us know if you are interested in serving as a tech editor this year. (Sign up today or e-mail us before June.) • Seniors: Please consider the tech editor’s role in your team’s planning to maximize this support (e.g., be sure to communicate scheduling that may impact the tech editor’s R-3 review, share feedback with team members to help them improve comments). Thank you!
