1.3 Pathway management - This page lays out a time line of my projected year and explains my systems for managing and tracking my pathway.

2014-2015 Time-Projection

Time-line projection

While building my OP5 Learning Review, in the beginning of this calander year, I started my look forward with a time line of the coming program year. See center column of Evidence and resource page. When beginning this LIPD I used this time line as a rapid prototype to create the more detailed one seen above. This is a tool I am using to help manage my pathway. This time line is not meant to be a rigid guide to follow, but rather an inspiration and a place to record possible and definite projects/commitments/events. I color-coded my Gaia OP work in red and my movements in orange. As emergence takes place I will be adding to/editing this map and saving it as a new map so I can track the change as another feedback loop (which has already happened since my pro-review).

F.L.E.C. Checklist

I created a check list I call F.L.E.C. - Feedback Loop End of Cycle. This checklist has been condensed from the constructive feedback of my End-of-cycle review. I copy and paste any suggestions or constructive feedback into a text block and then simplified them to their essence.

See full review in attached files drop down menu - bottom of center column on Evidence and resource page. This is a tool to help ensure I touch on these dynamics within each of my OP projects of this year. 

F.L.E.C. Check list 

1. Patrix busting (deconstructing negative paradigms) interventions & World context 

2. Benefits to the field - reconstruction-deconstruction-critique-expansion 

3. External referencing and comparative assessment 

4. How my thinking arose from others, identify gaps and articulate interventions 

5. Best practices in the field evidence of gaps 

6. Integrate comments when including various media (who created it? how were your involved?)

7. Share your roles and accountabilities within context 

8. Wrap up threads 

Self-eval. progress tracking rubric

Tracking my progress

Above is a Self-evaluation progress tracking rubric I created. The purpose of this matrix is to increase the rate and quality of my learning by setting goals and tracking my progress in reaching those goals. This is a tool I will be using before and after Project OPs as an active feedback loop that can help me quantify my learning progress in a way that is meaningful to me. By giving an articulated level of proficiency to each number (see Proficiency key upper left) I feel a deeper sense of meaning when assigning and reviewing a value. For more detail on this rubric see left column of Commentary and other projects page. To clarify; Pre-OP is my assessment of where I am at in the beginning of a project. Projection is where I want to be by the end. In the OP I will clarify if/how I met my projections with all the details.

The mind map above is a quick reference which I can visit periodically to have a patterns level view of all the important dynamics of my pathway that need attention. The bottom three fields are the most important for my personal reference.
