How It Works
A program evaluation is the collection and analysis of data to assess a program's design, implementation, and outcomes. It helps stakeholders, such as staff, leadership, policymakers, and the public, understand whether the program is effective, efficient, and worth continuing or modifying.
1
Define the Purpose and Scope
Explore why the program is being evaluated, clarify what part will be evaluated, and identify which stakeholders should be involved.
2
Develop Evaluation Questions and Logic Model
Create clear, focused questions to guide the evaluation and a written outline of how the program works.
3
Collect and Analyze Data
Gather data over a defined period of time and compare findings to benchmarks to assess program impact.
4
Communicate and Utilize Results
Translate the results into meaningful insights to share and assess implications for future program adjustments.
