Instructor: Maura Harrington, PhD MBA

Course Description
2 Day Series: May 25th & June 29th from 2:30pm to 5:30pm

This hands-on seminar will help you plan for an evaluation and use practical evaluation methods that can feed back to the program planning process, ensure that what is being measured is meaningful, and, most importantly, help you to articulate to the world outside the change that has resulted from your efforts.

Participants will put what they learn into practice in this hands-on workshop of the entire evaluation process. Topics will include evaluation jargon, evaluation methods, specifying evaluation objectives and working with a consultant. Exercises will focus on identifying which elements of a program to evaluate, designing program objectives and evaluation plans, choosing the appropriate methods, data collection methods, and making sense and use of the data once collected.
