WORK WITH PARENTS & THE COMMUNITY
Are You Making Progress? Increasing Accountability Through Evaluation

Day 5: Summary and Wrap-Up

Over the last four days, we have discussed the meaning and purpose of program evaluation, how to select an evaluator to work with your planning team, and some of the steps involved in designing an evaluation. Still, with all that we managed to cover, this on-line event has only touched the tip of the iceberg with respect to the topic of program evaluation.

There are numerous organizations and materials that can help you and your planning team dig deeper into this important topic. Some of them are listed in the Resources & Links section. On this final day of the event, please do the following:

  1. Review the list of additional resources located in the Resources & Links section. You will find information about organizations, evaluation guides, and other resources.

  2. Identify one resource that you find interesting, follow the link, and spend some time learning about the organization or reviewing the publication.

  3. Visit the Discussion Area to share with your fellow participants and the event facilitator the link you followed and any interesting tips you learned.

Please also take some time today to read the summary of this week's on-line discussion and share any additional thoughts -- either about the topic of program evaluation or about this on-line event -- in the Discussion Area.

Thank you for participating in Are You Making Progress? Increasing Accountability Through Evaluation.

We hope that you enjoyed the event!
