Program Evaluation and Assessment
A program evaluation and assessment begins by identifying a problem and assessing an organization based on its operations. We develop surveys, questionnaires, and administrative data review instruments to collect information. Databases are then created for data analysis. From there, we interpret the data and draft reports to offer our insights. We meet with key stakeholders to cover a range of important topics, including:
- Key Stakeholder Meetings
- Program & Process Theories
- Literature Reviews
- Research and Design Methodology
- Administration of Assessment Tools
- Data Coding
- Development of Databases
- Data Analysis and Interpretation
- Report Writing
- Presentation of Findings
Quantitative analyses includes descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), simple linear and multiple regression analyses, logistical regression analysis, and more.
All reports contain charts, graphs, and tables as visual representations of data.These evidence-based practices allow us to provide an accurate assessment of an organization or program.
