Introduction to Program Evaluation Series

This workshop series is for local governments, providing a broad overview of program evaluation through six key stages. Each of the six sessions will cover a separate stage and the entire series will be facilitated by the Schoolof Government's Dr. Maureen Berner.

 

You may choose to attend one or all of the sessions.  Registration for each session is separate. 

 

  • How Evaluation Works for Organizations (January 19th offering) introduces what program evaluation is, and is not, in concrete terms you can relate to. Is it something you need for your programs?

 

  • Logic Models (February 15th offering) will engage you in outlining exactly how the program is supposed to work in theory,and how to see if that matches reality.

 

  • Process Evaluations (March 8th offering) will engage you in outlining exactly how the program is supposed to work, in theory, and how to see if that matches reality.

 

  • Analyzing Long-Term Impact (April 19th offering) focuses on defining long-term success for your work in measurable terms, and the data needed to get there.

 

  • Refresh on Analyzing Data (May 17th offering) reviews basic descriptive data analysis, what statistical tools you can use to go beyond that, and when to call for help!

 

  • Communicating Results (June 14th offering) will show you how to translate what was done in any evaluation into a useful product for practitioners, decision-makers and the public.

 

Throughout the workshop we will refer to your own situation and you will be asked to apply the ideas to the program, policy or process you have, or are in the process of evaluating in your own organization. The goal of the workshop series is to let you start with an idea and leave with jump start on your final report.
