TAMED Part Two

PLANNED EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Titling activity will be important to keep track of which lessons have been entered in the system. When creating a title – include group name, curriculum, and the lesson #(s) that were taught.

ENTERING ACTIVITY INFORMATION

Examples of titles: Adult: “Santa Maria Bonita HBHM Lesson 1” Youth: “Harris Elementary HHA 3rd grade lesson 1”.  Youth groups could add the identifier of a teacher, coach, period etc. – such as “Harris Elementary, Mrs. Smith, HHA, Lesson 1”

In addition to the title, the following is entered:

• Activity Date – date lesson was taught
• Educator Name
• Activity Indicator – select “EFNEP”
• ‘Who led the activity?’ - select “Faculty”
• 'Were you or volunteer activity lead?’ – select “Yes”
• If two educators are team teaching a class – only the lead should enter the TAMED data for that activity.

• ‘Fee Based program?’ – select “No”
• ‘Plan Type for Activity’ – select “Agent Plan”
• You will see “Agent Plan Name”.
• If you are entering an adult program, you will select “EFNEP- {your county} In-depth Adult program plan {year}”.
• If you are entering a youth program, you will select “EFNEP – {your county} In-depth Youth program plan {year}”.

• Program Area – always select “Human Nutrition”
• % of Activity – select “100%”

ACTIVITY DETAILS

• Delivered at a distance via technology? – usually “No”
• Is this a planning group committee meeting? – “No”
• Is this part of an in-depth program? – “Yes”
• County – add your county
• Zip code for activity – add zip code

Will go into more detail about sessions/days and hours in proceeding slides

• CEUs – “No”
• Summary – see description in image

The Summary area is a good place to note if anything unusual takes place during a class. Class cut short and why or any other pertinent information.

CLASS TIME - ACTIVITY DETAILS

• Total number of sessions or days = number of lessons the participants received
• Average hours per session = the amount of time the lesson was taught
• Entered as Decimal time in 15-minute increments (TAMED internally converts to Minutes)

• Average number of participants per session = number of participants in your class that day

A good rule of thumb is to remember that TAMED is about the amount of time our participants receive, not about the amount of time or work you do.

Examples: Adult Programs You teach one lesson at a community center, it takes 1.5 hours to teach the lesson, and you have 30 participants that day. You would enter 1, 1.5 and 30. You ‘double up’ and teach 2 lessons to the same group of participants, it takes 1 hour to teach each lesson, and you have 20 participants that day. You would enter 2, 1 and 20.
