Grant award recipients must submit a report to the Director of Member Programs (400 words minimum) within one month of the completion of the project. This should include a description of the project, its goals and objectives, the intended outcomes and how they were achieved, results of the evaluation measures, and an acknowledgement of funding.

The report should be suitable for publishing in the ATLA Newsletter and photographs or other visual elements are appreciated. Reports may also be published on the ATLA website or other social media and award winners may be asked to consider presenting their project at an ATLA event (Annual Conference, webinar, Regional Group meeting, etc.). ATLA encourages award winders to also present their projects at other associated conferences or meetings (white paper, poster session, workshop, etc.).

We ask that award winners share this information so that others can benefit from hearing about ideas and successes related to marketing, promotion, and advocacy at ATLA member libraries.

• 
  Outcomes focus on specific knowledge areas, competencies, or skill-sets that learners acquire as a result of the learning experience.
  

• 
  Outcomes should be learner-oriented: what will the professional development activity’s participants be able to take away from this event, or what will they be able to do? (Do not discuss what “this workshop will…” or what “the instructor will…”)
  

• 
  Outcomes use active verbs. (Avoid vague language like “know” or “understand.”) If there is no hands-on application during the professional development event, indicate that participants “will be able to ” and reference future application. (For an example of useful verbs, visit http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/time_savers/bloom/)
