Quantitative or qualitative measures? Quantitative measures HOW MUCH…? • How much did the participant change? • How much did the community change? Qualitative measuresWHY and HOW? • Why did the program work? • How did participants change as result?
Evaluation must be planned ahead • Evaluation should be part of program planning • Planning and resource allocation makes evaluation more successful • Example: long-term tracking of participants
What else makes good evaluation? • Scientific rigor • Evaluation produces useful information that helps make decisions • Assessment should be done with a particular purpose in mind • Evaluation is tailored to your program objectives • Evaluation is done with conceptual framework in mind
LOGIC MODEL CONDITIONS and DRIVERS The Planned Work The Intended Results
LOGIC MODEL CONDITIONS and DRIVERS Current situation that precipitates the need for the program
LOGIC MODEL CONDITIONS and DRIVERS Resources and inputs needed to operate the program:personnel, facilities, materials, equipment
LOGIC MODEL CONDITIONS and DRIVERS Everything the program does if it had access to the resources
LOGIC MODEL CONDITIONS and DRIVERS The “deliverables”—the events, products and services Number of participants, classes, brochures, advisors, etc
LOGIC MODEL CONDITIONS and DRIVERS If the program delivers, the participants will benefit in certain ways: Knowledge, skills, behavior, attitudes Immediate, mid-term and long-term outcomes
LOGIC MODEL CONDITIONS and DRIVERS If these benefits to participants are achieved, then certain changes in organizations and communities might be expected to occur
