Course
Description:
This seminar will provide participants with a basic overview of the evaluation process. One topic covered in some depth will be survey development. The seminar will define key evaluation terms, and cover the following topics: How evaluation fits into an overall program (including development of outcomes, performance measures and logic models); evaluation tools and methods; and sharing evaluation results with key stakeholders to achieve ongoing program improvement. Participants in this seminar will learn enough about the evaluation process to be able to work effectively with evaluation professionals and understand various aspects of their work and products. For participants with some knowledge of the evaluation process, the seminar will represent a valuable review, with perhaps some new information covered.
