What comes to mind when you think of an evaluator? Have you ever thought about what an evaluator does? By using data to answer questions, evaluators “crack the code” in understanding the ins and outs of programs. For example, if you have developed a program, an evaluator can help you:
“Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.” ~ Zora Neale Hurston
- Lay out the pieces of the program aka construct a logic model, which provides a roadmap for how the program works.
- Develop an evaluation plan, which identifies questions, data collection, and outcomes.
- Conduct the evaluation by collecting data and providing ongoing feedback.
- Assist in establishing an evaluation system, which utilizes your structures and resources.
