Description

In this interactive presentation Ann Brackett, Director of Research and Evaluation, and Nancy Hurley, Research and Evaluation Associate, both with Learning Innovations at WestEd, will highlight a new print and online resource, Collaborative Evaluation Led by Local Educators, developed through the Northeast and the Islands Regional Technology in Education Consortium. A detailed overview introduced the collaborative evaluation process, and in the Power Point presentation, participants explored the guide, touching on the various stages of the evaluation process, as well as the accompanying Web site, where they found a detailed evaluation planning template and practical, step-by-step how-to's for evaluation tasks, ranging from selection of data-gathering strategies to development of questionnaires and facilitation of community discussions of findings.

Participants can print the guide and supporting resources prior to the presentation.
