Evaluation Basics (8 Instructional Hours)

An introduction and overview to everything you need to develop a completed evaluation design and implementation plan

• the different types of evaluation
• how to determine the type of evaluation that suites your organization’s needs;
• the importance of developing a purpose and focus for your evaluation that takes into account the needs of all stakeholders
• the value of creating a logic model and how to create one
• how to develop evaluation questions that yield useful data
• the types of methods that can be used in evaluation
• how to create an evaluation plan 

Product: By the end of this non profit evaluation workshop, each participating organization will develop a program evaluation plan.   

Recommendations: We recommend that organizations send at least three staff members to these trainings. In this way, the level of effort required for the evaluation project is distributed across multiple staff members and there is a greater likelihood that the learning will be sustained. 

Specifics: This workshop includes 6 one-hour real-time classroom sessions, 2 hours of one-to-one online consultation, and unlimited peer-to-peer support. 

Nonprofits and foundations $1,500 for up to three participants

Creating Logic Models (6 instructional hours)

This non profit evaluation workshop walks you through the process of creating a program logic model that illustrates your programs unique approach, outlines its activities, defines its short and long term outcomes, and begins to help you and your staff unearth assumptions that can be tested during your evaluation.  Logic models are also a great snapshot of your program that can be shared with other stakeholders (e.g., foundations, donors, board members, etc).  In addition, the process of creating a logic model can be a terrific internal communication tool, supporting your stakeholders to develop and use common language about your organizations activities and outcomes.  

Product: By the end of this workshop, each participating organization will have created a program logic model.   

Recommendation: We recommend that you try to engage a wide-range of stakeholders in the entire Evaluation Access training process or in the homework activities.   

Specifics: This workshop includes 3 one-hour real-time classroom sessions, 3 hours of one-to-one online consultation with Evaluation Access GEACs and unlimited access to peer support.
