Program Evaluation Assignment:

/in /by

 Program Evaluation Assignment: Evaluation is a process that critically examines a program. It involves collecting and analyzing information about a program’s activities, characteristics, and outcomes. Its purpose is to make judgments about a program, to improve its effectiveness, and/or to inform programming decisions. Evaluation can be thought of as a set of linked activities, and the process for undertaking an evaluation includes four main phases – planning, development, implementation, and action and improvement.

Using this week’s readings, create a short PowerPoint that outlines the key steps in program evaluation.  Make sure you highlight the steps you would take in evaluating a Residential or Adult Vocational Center Based Setting.  Highlight how you would execute each step.
