What is your IMPACT Story?

Workshop Description: 

Passion.  That is what drives us to make a difference in our cause.  To engage others we often use storytelling that reflects this passion.  The intimate enthusiasm we have for our work makes it difficult to understand why anyone would say “no” to our effort!!

Unfortunately, as there is a greater need, fewer resources, and increasing competition, tugging at the emotive strings through passionate storytelling and simply telling them what you do is not sufficient in telling your story.  Grantors, donors, and supporters want to know the real impact of the services your organization provides – “what changes in the community because your organization is here“.  This presentation provides an overview of identifying and measuring impact, and how to use it in telling your story.

Testimonials

I have the privilege of working with Dr. Marie Steckelberg through a 21st Century Learning Communities STEM Grant. The grant requires travel to all the eligible out of school programs in the state of SD. Managing the logistics is challenging to say the least, but Marie’s meticulous planning and organizational skills make our work efficient and effective. Marie delights in sharing her knowledge of STEM instructional strategies and ensures the professional development gives educators confidence in their new curriculum and classroom management skills. The professional relationships Marie has established throughout the state of South Dakota and the nation allow her to draw on a vast network of expertise to enhance the work she does in schools, out of school programs, and beyond. Marie’s experience, knowledge, and willingness to embrace a challenge have been an inspiration to me and so many others.

Mari Biehl, OwnerMissouri Valley Education Consulting

As a colleague of Dr. Steckelberg working in the Rising Star Educator Program (RSEP) and as a professional mentee of hers myself, I have witnessed Dr. Steckelberg in action making a difference in education. Her workshops’ audiences range in ability/experiences yet she differentiates her presentations to meet the needs of those in attendance. Dr. Steckelberg models her commitment to excellence through a hands-on approach for presenting STEM content and lessons for both pre-service and veteran educators. She is an inspiration and encourager for our RSEP team as we journey together to meet the mission of our Rising Star Educator Program.

Mrs. Tammy Jo SchlechterMath Specialist

Marie has served as our NASA South Dakota Space Grant Consortium professional program evaluator since 2016. By attending our monthly management team meetings and evaluating our many STEM educational programs spanning K through university, she provides solid, practical advice that we can use to improve our program effectiveness. Marie is a pleasure to work with.

Mrs. Tammy Jo SchlechterMath Specialist

I hired Marie to run our statewide program because I knew her to be someone who gets projects done with a mind for timeliness and quality. She has proven this true. As I expected her skills have added greatly to the success of our project. I'll continue to work with her on this and future projects and highly recommend her to others.

Kristie Maher, Executive DirectorSD Discovery Center

Scientists and university faculty do not necessarily speak the language of program evaluation. Working with the South Dakota NASA Space Grant Consortium, Dr. Steckelberg has helped us develop an overall evaluation strategy and, within that framework, to implement specific data collection and survey tools that have had a positive impact on our program management and program outcomes. As a result of Dr. Steckelberg’s guidance, we find ourselves in the forefront among our peer organizations across the U.S. and well-positioned to provide our program managers at NASA with solid evaluative feedback.

Dr. Edward F. Duke, DirectorSouth Dakota Space Grant Consortium
SD School of Mines & Technology

Marie's knowledge and experience make her highly competent and effective. Professional and personable, she is easy to work with and delivers excellent service.
