August 2024 Evaluation Coffee Break: From Questioning to Answering: Developing Data Collection Plans

The SRAENE technical assistance team is continuing a short series of “evaluation coffee break” sessions to support grant recipients conducting descriptive evaluation activities. Descriptive evaluation activities can include assessing program implementation, pre-post changes in youth outcomes, longer-term change in youth outcomes, or correlations between youth or program characteristics and outcomes.

In this 30-minute session, we will discuss creating data collection plans that align with your research questions. A data collection plan that aligns with your research questions will set the stage for a strong descriptive evaluation where you can obtain the information needed to understand how your program is operating and whether it is achieving desired objectives.

We will have time for open discussion, so please bring your questions, challenges, and lessons learned about this topic to the session. Grant recipient staff and evaluators are welcome! Please forward this invite to your team.

Register here for the session on August 29 at 2:00pm ET.
