Designing Evaluations for Maximum Utilization
Course Description
Too often in education and training, evaluation studies end up collecting dust on a shelf. This is an unnecessary waste of time for everyone involved in the process. However, evaluations have enormous potential to yield critical information that can guide decision-makers. The secret to effective evaluations is in the planning. It is about asking the right questions then efficiently gathering data to address them. Ultimately, the success of any evaluation study is determined by the extent to which your stakeholders use the findings.
This interactive seminar will prepare you to design evaluations that will maximize the value of your evaluation efforts.
