ABOUT THIS TRAINING SESSION
How do you know if you are making progress toward your organization’s ambitious vision and mission?
How do you quantify your program’s impact?
Are there ways you could work smarter, not harder?
Data and evaluation practices are fundamental to answering these questions, and yet, small and medium-sized organizations often feel ill-equipped to tackle them.
In this session, we’ll demystify some foundational data and evaluation concepts and recommend tangible ways in which your organization can implement new approaches to begin building a data-informed culture.
Join us to learn:
- How to build and refine the foundation of a successful evaluation plan: Your organization’s logic model;
- Strategies for defining, measuring, and reporting on program outcomes;
- Approaches to process evaluation and leading ongoing quality improvement efforts; and
- Tools and instruments to support data collection.
