Planning a Program Evaluation and Planning a Program Evaluation Worksheet

Ellen Taylor-Powell, Sara Steele, and Mohammad Douglah

This guide, organized into four major sections, helps groups plan program evaluations. The first section covers topics such as the purpose, target audience, and need for the evaluation. The second section discusses sources of information and data-collection methods. The third section addresses how the data will be analyzed, interpreted, and communicated to others. The final section examines time lines, the division of responsibilities, and budgets. Each section presents a series of questions and considerations for you to adapt to your own program needs and situations. The four-page worksheet describes each of the major sections of the guide and enables you to complete the information as it relates to your particular program evaluation. (31 pages)
