2007 Evaluation Priorities

What is essential to do over the next year? These are a few ideas:

 

1. Logic Models

Train people who would carry out evaluation on behalf of the committee. Work with project teams to revise evaluation questions. Frame the evaluation—What are questions project teams want to answer? Demystify evaluation and make it relevant to the work of the project teams.

 

2. Subgroup to look into additional indicators

 

3. Revise the survey questions or add survey questions

4. Offer trainings on writing Action Plans or funding for projects

 

DeAnn & Lisa will send list of things to do in 2007 around to the group
