Mindy Hightower King

Have you ever been asked to develop an evaluation for a program or intervention and felt like you were flying by the seat of your pants? If so, this workshop is for you. Dr. Mindy Hightower King, from the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy, will demonstrate how to conceptualize basic evaluation designs, highlighting the distinctions between “formative” and “summative” evaluation and the use of common evaluation tools such as logic models, stakeholder interest matrices, and surveys. A brief overview of “performance measurement” will be provided in order to familiarize participants with the similarities and differences between program evaluation and performance measurement.
