SUMMARY:Being an Evaluator, February 2021
DESCRIPTION:Are you new to the field of evaluation? Are you wondering 
 what it’s all about? Will you be commissioning an evaluation? This c
 ourse will demystify the evaluation journey and explore the choices, r
 oles and challenges that evaluators must navigate in the real world. J
 oin us for a two module course designed to help explore the world of e
 valuation practice. Case studies, exercises and small group conversati
 ons will help participants learn how to clarify interventions, identif
 y beneficiaries, gather data, discuss results, and develop recommendat
 ions, all the while fostering a reflective, ethical and culturally sen
 sitive evaluation practice.\nThe Being an Evaluator course is delive
 red in two virtual, instructor-led modules. Classes will take place on
 line via Adobe Connect or Zoom. Certificates of completion will be pro
 vided at the end of the course to all participants who have successful
 ly completed the modules. Read more about each of the modules below. 
 \n\n\nModule 1: Evaluation 101February 24, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. EDT\nIn th
 is first module we will review monitoring and evaluation terminology, 
 distinguish between evaluation and research, sort out the problem stat
 ement, recognizing its importance in the whole evaluation journey, and
  think about stakeholders, who they are and why they matter? We will e
 xplore the difference between facts and assumptions, look at methods o
 f inquiry and think about what it means to have credible data, credibl
 e evidence, and credible evaluations. We will wrap up by illustrating 
 how to make an intervention evaluable by linking a problem statement w
 ith an intervention and results. Participants will explore how to brea
 k down results so that they are assessable and measurable and recogniz
 e the importance of having a program logic model and theory of change 
 be explicit and go hand in hand.\nModule 2: The Maze of Evaluation Cho
 icesFebruary 25, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. EDT\nThis module will start with rev
 iewing a program’s theory of change and exploring how to identify wh
 at to assess and when. Through an interactive activity, participants w
 ill walk through a sample evaluation design. We will consider how to e
 ngage with values, and values are embedded in every aspect of the eval
 uative process, and how participants in the process can have different
  values. We will talk about the multitude of choices that an evaluator
  must make to provide the most accurate, feasible, credible and useful
  evaluation to specific users, at that time, for that intervention, in
  that context, and with those resources. We will wrap up by learning a
 bout evaluation reports and think about how to provide specific and ac
 tionable recommendations. Don’t be surprised if you learn some evalu
 ation trade secrets along the way!\n\n\n\nFor more information visit h
