Program Evaluation: Awesome or Evil?
1. Why is evaluation scary?
2. Why is it important?
![Page 3: Outcome Measurement Kaitlyn Wark Program Evaluation Officer The Community Foundation Michael Mallett Research & Evaluation Director United Way of Greater.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5b47/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why Evaluate?
To better serve children in Richmond Public Schools.
• Learning and improvement• Accountability
![Page 4: Outcome Measurement Kaitlyn Wark Program Evaluation Officer The Community Foundation Michael Mallett Research & Evaluation Director United Way of Greater.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5b47/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FAQsWhen will RPS use your evaluation data to make decisions on partners?
• RPS expects to see evaluation data and use those in decision making for the 2016-17 school year.
Do we have to measure grades? Is RPS only interested in grades?
• You should measure what you hope to accomplish with your participants (students, staff, etc.). For example, if your program is teaching healthy eating habits, you should measure daily vegetable intake.
What is the baseline expectation?• To measure the program or service’s outcome indicators. (You have an
evaluation plan developed and implemented).
What if I need help?• You’ll leave today with a wealth of resources both in the partners present and
this presentation with links to other resources will be emailed and on the Community Partnerships website.

Outcome Definition
The measurable changes your program produces for participant:
–Knowledge–Behavior–Skills–Attitudes –Condition/Resources
![Page 8: Outcome Measurement Kaitlyn Wark Program Evaluation Officer The Community Foundation Michael Mallett Research & Evaluation Director United Way of Greater.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5b47/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Long-term outcomes–Capture enduring changes –Usually measured a year to multiple
years after the program–Usually more difficult to measure than
short-term or intermediate outcomes

Developing Long-Term Outcomes
? What are you trying to achieve with your clients?
? What does success look like, for your clients?
? If you are successful, how will your clients be different after the program than before?
? What kinds of changes do you want to see?
Adapted from Patton: Utilization-focused Evaluation
Helpful Questions: Vision and Goal Setting
![Page 16: Outcome Measurement Kaitlyn Wark Program Evaluation Officer The Community Foundation Michael Mallett Research & Evaluation Director United Way of Greater.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5b47/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Developing Long-Term Outcomes
? Can your program really influence the outcome in a meaningful way?
? Is this outcome truly important to you?
? Is this outcome important and valid to others?
? Is the outcome written using language that most people will understand?
? Are there unintended consequences?
Helpful Questions: Importance
![Page 17: Outcome Measurement Kaitlyn Wark Program Evaluation Officer The Community Foundation Michael Mallett Research & Evaluation Director United Way of Greater.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5b47/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Think – Pair – Share
1. Spend 2 minutes crafting a long-term outcome for your program.
2. Share your long-term outcome with your neighbors.
3. Give/receive feedback4. Choose one long-term outcome to share
with the rest of the audience.

Measurement and Data Collection
Make a Plan! When will data be collected?
• When entering the program?
• When completing the program?
• Fixed interval after entering?
• Fixed interval after completing?
Who will collect the data? Who will analyze it? Where will the data be stored? A database? How will data quality be assured?
![Page 29: Outcome Measurement Kaitlyn Wark Program Evaluation Officer The Community Foundation Michael Mallett Research & Evaluation Director United Way of Greater.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5b47/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Where are you now?
1 • Anecdotal evidence• Client Testimonies• Success Stories
2 • Collecting mostly output data (number of participants)• Not using data in decision-making and improvement plans
3 • Occasionally monitors program performance• Occasionally monitors program indicators• No theory of change and/or logic model
4• Continuous improvement mindset• Regularly monitors program performance • Regularly monitors outcome indicators• Fully developed logic model and evaluation plan
