My project idea is developing a grant that will assist with disruptive/unruly high school students. Once this proposal is developed and funded it will assist schools and their teachers with methods that will allow them to be more in control of their classrooms which will ultimately promote effectiveness and a higher graduation rate. Better classroom management techniques will be more appealing to stakeholders and other organizations because it will make education in the public school system more marketable when compared to private schools. Assignment 2: Final Project: Writing the Grant Part 2: Methodology and Evaluation Plans The methodology section is one of the core components of the grant. This section is concerned with addressing the question: “How will you carry out the project?” (Gitlin & Lyons, 2014, p. 92). For example, if your proposal is for a nonprofit-related project, you might identify the population served or indicate who will receive services. Depending on the grant type, you may also include the research sample and associated inclusion criteria. A research proposal may also include the research design strategy, assumptions, validity, reliability, statistical analysis, timeline, and evaluation plans. Finally, in this section you may address human resources requirements and materials or supplies needed to complete the project. In recent years, evaluation plans have become increasingly important to prospective funders. Competition for grants is intense, and funders must feel confident that money will be well spent and that projects can be appropriately evaluated. This is an important consideration for the grant seeker as well. Your organization will also want to be assured that the time and effort put into a project proves that the objectives are met and if not, why. For this Assignment: Review the Final Project Guidelines provided in this module’s Learning Resources. Carefully review your Gitlin & Lyons text, the University of Wisconsin-Extension resource, and the Community Tool Box resource as well as other Learning Resources that focus on methodology and evaluation. You may also find additional online information from reputable grant-related organizations, such as Foundation Center and individual private funders. Remember that this content must demonstrate that it addresses funder interests as well as the grantee perspective. In 3–5 pages, provide your Methodology and Evaluation Plans. In developing the methodology for your project, keep these thoughts in mind: A project should undertake only activities that will move it toward the objectives. If any activities are not necessary for reaching the objectives, do not include them in the proposal. The methodology includes the day-to-day, week-to-week, and/or month-to-month activities that will be carried out during the project period. The Methodology includes: Program description Research design Human subjects (sample) Study validity and reliability Assumpti ...

This document summarizes a chapter from the book "Program Evaluation: Methods and Case Studies" by Emil J. Posavac and Raymond G. Carey.
The chapter discusses selecting criteria and setting standards for program evaluation. It explains that criteria should reflect a program's purposes and be influenced by the program staff. Criteria also need to be measurable reliably and validly. Goals should include implementation, intermediate, and outcome goals. Evaluation criteria and questions should assess whether a program matches stakeholder values and needs. Developing a program theory can help define how a program's components will achieve its goals. Assessing a program theory examines its logic, plausibility, and alignment with research. Practical limitations like budget and

Description of the Initiative Evaluation Plan
Initiative evaluation involves systematic mechanisms for gathering, reviewing, and utilizing information to answer questions concerning the initiative, policies, and programs, specifically about their effectiveness and efficiency. Initiative evaluation can entail both qualitative as well as qualitative techniques of social research. The initiative evaluation plan also contains the intended use of the evaluation outcomes for the program enhancement and decision making. The evaluation plan serves to clarify the initiative’s purpose and expected results (Dudley, 2020). The evaluation plan provides the direction that the monitoring should take based on the initiative priorities, the available resources, time, and skills required to complete the evaluation.
The initiative will have a well-documented plan to foster transparency as well as ensure that stakeholders are on a similar page with concerns about the purpose, use, and also the beneficiaries of the evaluation outcomes. Utilization of the evaluation outcomes is not a thing that can be wished when implementing an initiative. Instead, it must be planned, directed, and ensured to have intentions (Dudley, 2020). The evaluation plan for this initiative will have many benefits, including facilitating the capacity to establish strong connections with partners and stakeholders. The program is also essential for creating the initiative transparency to the stakeholders and decision-makers. The plan also serves as advocacy means for evaluation resources based on negotiated priorities. The procedure for evaluation initiative is also critical for helping in identifying whether there are enough intervention resources and time to realize the desired evaluation exercises and provide answers to prioritize evaluation questions.
When developing the plan for evaluating the initiative targeting to promote health and wellbeing in the community, the key steps must be to develop an effective strategy. The key steps to be followed when creating the evaluation plan differ depending on the project type to be evaluated. The first step entails engaging the stakeholders. When finding the purpose of the evaluation procedures, it is crucial to determine its purpose and the stakeholders involved in the implementation process of the intervention. Identifying the purpose of the evaluation process and stakeholders involved is critical because the two components serve as the basis for evaluation planning, target, design, and comprehension of the outcomes. Stakeholders' engagement is necessary to enable the support of the evaluation process. Involving stakeholders in the evaluation process can have many advantages. Stakeholders comprise the people who use the evaluation outcomes, support and keep the initiative or those impacted by the intervention activities or evalu ...

A guide for comprehensive needs assessment
A comprehensive needs assessment should identify gaps between a school's current performance and its goals. It provides direction by determining priorities and resources to maximize impact. The assessment involves gathering both qualitative and quantitative data from multiple sources to develop goals and monitor implementation. It is critical for a planning team to conduct the needs assessment and analyze the data to identify root causes and priorities. The results should be used to create SMART goals and select strategies to meet identified needs.

Final Project Guidelines The Final Project for this course.docx
Potential barriers to successful partnerships for my grant project idea include:
- Lack of communication between partnering schools and organizations. Clear and consistent communication will be important for coordinating project activities and ensuring all partners have an understanding of expectations.
- Different priorities or hidden agendas among partners. The goals and objectives of the project need to be clearly defined and agreed upon by all involved to maintain focus on disruptive student intervention and classroom management.
- Limited resources or lack of commitment from some partners. All organizations need to contribute meaningfully for the project to be successful. Roles and responsibilities will need to be clearly outlined.
A Memorandum of Understanding signed by all partners would help formalize commitments. It should describe shared goals

The Future of Evaluation
Orienting Questions
1. How are future program evaluations likely to be different from current evaluations in
• the way in which political considerations are handled?
• the approaches that will be used?
• the involvement of stakeholders?
• who conducts them?
2. How is evaluation like some other activities in organizations?
3. How is evaluation viewed differently in other countries?
We have reached the last chapter of this book, but we have only begun to share
what is known about program evaluation. The references we have made to other
writings reflect only a fraction of the existing literature in this growing field. In
choosing to focus attention on (1) alternative approaches to program evaluation,
and (2) practical guidelines for planning, conducting, reporting, and using evalu-
ation studies, we have tried to emphasize what we believe is most important to
include in any single volume that aspires to give a broad overview of such a complex
and multifaceted field. We hope we have selected well, but we encourage students
and evaluation practitioners to go beyond this text to explore the richness and
depth of other evaluation literature. In this final chapter, we share our perceptions
and those of a few of our colleagues about evaluation’s future.
The Future of Evaluation
Hindsight is inevitably better than foresight, and ours is no exception. Yet present
circumstances permit us to hazard a few predictions that we believe will hold true
for program evaluation in the next few decades. History will determine whether
18
Chapter 18 • The Future of Evaluation 491
Predictions Concerning the Profession
of Evaluation
1. Evaluation will become an increasingly useful force in our society. As
noted, evaluation will have increasing impacts on programs, on organizations, and
on society. Many of the movements we have discussed in this text—performance
monitoring, organizational learning, and others—illustrate the increasing interest
in and impact of evaluation in different sectors. Evaluative means of thinking will
improve ways of planning and delivering programs and policies to achieve their
intended effects and, more broadly, improve society.
2. Evaluation will increase in the United States and in other developed
countries as the pressure for accountability weighs heavily on governments and
nonprofit organizations that deliver vital services. The emphasis on accountability
and data-based decision making has increased dramatically in the first decade of
the twenty-first century. Also, virtually every trend points to more, not less, eval-
uation in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in the future. In some organi-
zations, the focus is on documenting outcomes in response to external political
pressures. In other organizations, evaluation is being used for organizational
growth and development, which should, ultimately, improve the achievement of
those outcomes. In each context, however, evaluation is in dema ...
Needs assessment
The document outlines the steps for conducting an education needs assessment. It discusses that an education needs assessment establishes the need for a particular project by examining audience interest, knowledge, and environmental issues. The needs assessment process involves planning, defining participants, designing data collection strategies, gathering and analyzing data, and reporting results to identify priority needs. Key steps include using the TOP model to guide data collection, determining appropriate sampling, designing instruments, and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data collected. The overall goal is to systematically identify any gaps in existing education services to effectively design new education projects.
Social Work Research Planning a Program EvaluationJoan is a soc.docx
Social Work Research: Planning a Program Evaluation
Joan is a social worker who is currently enrolled in a social work PhD program. She is planning to conduct her dissertation research project with a large nonprofit child welfare organization where she has worked as a site coordinator for many years. She has already approached the agency director with her interest, and the leadership team of the agency stated that they would like to collaborate on the research project.
The child welfare organization at the center of the planned study has seven regional centers that operate fairly independently. The primary focus of work is on foster care; that is, recruiting and training foster parents and running a regular foster care program with an emphasis on family foster care. The agency has a residential program as well, but it will not participate in the study. Each of the regional centers services about 45–50 foster parents and approximately 100 foster children. On average, five to six new foster families are recruited at each center on a quarterly basis. This number has been consistent over the past 2 years.
Recently it was decided that a new training program for incoming foster parents would be used by the organization. The primary goals of this new training program include reducing foster placement disruptions, improving the quality of services delivered, and increasing child well-being through better trained and skilled foster families. Each of the regional centers will participate and implement the new training program. Three of the sites will start the program immediately, while the other four centers will not start until 12 months from now. The new training program consists of six separate 3-hour training sessions that are typically conducted in a biweekly format. It is a fairly proceduralized training program; that is, a very detailed set of manuals and training materials exists. All trainings will be conducted by the same two instructors. The current training program that it will replace differs considerably in its focus, but it also uses a 6-week, 3-hour format. It will be used by those sites not immediately participating until the new program is implemented.
Joan has done a thorough review of the foster care literature and has found that there has been no research on the training program to date, even though it is being used by a growing number of agencies. She also found that there are some standardized instruments that she could use for her study. In addition, she would need to create a set of Likert-type scales for the study. She will be able to use a group design because all seven regional centers are interested in participating and they are starting the training at different times.

17- Program Evaluation a beginner’s guide.pdf
This document provides an overview of program evaluation. It discusses that the key goal of program evaluation is to determine whether a program works and how it can be improved. It covers important aspects of planning an evaluation such as determining the evaluation question, developing a logic model or theory of change, and choosing an appropriate design such as experimental, quasi-experimental, or case study. Experimental design using random assignment to treatment and control groups can provide clear evidence of a program's impact but has limitations. The document discusses various methods for data collection and analysis to evaluate a program's outcomes and processes.

Assignment 2: RA 2: Program Evaluation Plan
Program evaluation is an essential practice in human services organizations that provides a systematic and scientific approach for decision-making and program intervention. This process ensures that agencies perform effectively by being outcome-oriented and accountable. Since human services are often made up of many elements with complex relationships and dynamics, an evaluator needs to engage in collaborative reflection with key stakeholders, be grounded in people's experiences, and use data to ask good questions.
For this assignment, build upon the needs assessment conducted in
M3 Assignment 2 RA 1
and design a program evaluation plan using appropriate evaluation frameworks discussed in the earlier modules.
Tasks:
Using at least 3–5 scholarly resources from the professional literature, research program evaluation. The literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).
Create a 10- to 12-page evaluation plan, including the following:
Program's Context
: Identify the setting (including mission and objectives of the program), target population, and environmental influences within which the program operates.
Purpose of Evaluation
: State the purpose of your evaluation. Having a clear purpose prevents hasty decisions in how an evaluation should be conducted. It could be for introducing a new approach to practice, to change an existing one, or to evaluate the effect of existing program activities.
Expected Effects
: Describe the desired outcomes (short- and long-term ones) for the program to be successful.
Stakeholders
: Identify all the stakeholders who would need to be engaged in the evaluation.
Design of Framework
: Choose an evaluation framework that will influence what type of resources will be used as evidence, how that evidence will be gathered and analyzed, and what kind of claims can be made.
Resources (What Is the Required Data?)
: Determine criteria for effectiveness of the program and the data that would need to be collected to meet the selected criteria.
Selection of Methods (How Can We Get It?)
: Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different data-gathering techniques and information analysis approaches to ensure quality in the evidence gathered.
Findings (What Does the Data Mean?)
: Highlight important evaluation findings, including effective strategies to interpret, and present results and recommendations for the program to the stakeholders.
Dissemination of the Findings
: Select appropriate communication strategies and develop a communication plan using appropriate media and technology to inform the stakeholders.
Plan for Follow Up for Ongoing Improvement (What Are We Going to Do Now?)
: Determine how the results will be implemented and monitored.

Though project managers often gain a great deal of experiential knowledge through the project management process, project evaluation offers them a chance to formalize the lessons they have learned. Part 3 of the Individual Project focuses on issues related to evaluating the success of a project and the debriefing process for capturing lessons learned. If conducting an interview, your interviewee must be able to speak to these topics. Alternatively, you may examine a minimum of three organizations that have published descriptions about the evaluation and debriefing process of a health care information technology project.
Interview
To prepare:
Review the Individual Project Overview document linked in this week’s Learning Resources for additional information on this project. Pay particular attention to the questions you should ask in your interview.
Locate a professional who manages or works on special projects in health care and is willing to speak about his or her experience.
If such a person is not readily available to you, find someone in your community who has managed a project for an organization. The organization can be a volunteer service group, a faith-based group, a business, or another that meets your needs. The goal is to find an individual who has been in charge of a project important to the organization.
Review the topics and questions below that should be addressed in your interview.
Think about other related questions you might have for your interviewee and solidify your goals for speaking to and learning from this person.
Topics and Questions:
As in the other interviews, you will need to adapt your questions to the individual,
setting, and projects. You are not required to ask these
specific
questions, but you are
required to address the topics listed below (Note: If the interviewee cannot address a
topic, conduct a literature search to find scholarly information or research on that topic).
Evaluation
·
What tools or strategies do you use to evaluate the success of a project?
·
Can you give an example of a project that failed (or was not successful)?
Lessons Learned
·
Describe the project outcomes
o
What were some successful outcomes of the project? Were the project
goals met?
o

The field of program evaluation presents a diversity of images a.docx
The field of program evaluation presents a diversity of images and claims about the nature and role of evaluation that confounds any attempt to construct a coher- ent account of its methods or confidently identify important new developments. We take the view that the overarching goal of the program evaluation enterprise is to contribute to the improvement of social conditions by providing scientifically credible information and balanced judgment to legitimate social agents about the effectiveness of interventions intended to produce social benefits. Because of its centrality in this perspective, this review focuses on outcome evaluation, that is, the assessment of the effects of interventions upon the populations they are intended to benefit. The coverage of this topic is concentrated on literature published within the last decade with particular attention to the period subsequent to the related reviews by Cook and Shadish (1994) on social experiments and Sechrest & Figueredo (1993) on program evaluation.
The word ‘evaluation’ has become increasingly used in the language of community, health and social services and programs. The growth of talk and practice of evaluation in these fields has often been promoted and encouraged by funders and commissioners of services and programs. Following the interest of funders, has been a growth in the study and practice of evaluation by community, health and social service practitioners and academics. When we consider why this move in evaluative thinking and practice has occurred, we can assume the position of the funder and simply answer, ‘...because we want to know if this program or service works’. Practitioners, specialists and academics in these fields have been called upon by governments and philanthropists to aid the development of effective evaluation. Over time, they have led their own thinking and practice independently. Evaluation in its simplest form is about understanding the effect and impact of a program, service, or indeed a whole organization. Evaluation as a practice is not so simple however, largely because in order to assess impact, we need to be very clear at the beginning what effect or difference we are trying to achieve.
The literature review begins with an overview of qualitative and quantitative research methods, followed by a description of key forms of evaluation. Health promotion evaluation and advocacy and policy evaluation will then be explored as two specific domains. These domains are not evaluation methodologies, but forms of evaluation that present unique requirements for effective community development evaluation. Following this discussion, the review will explore eight key evaluation methodologies: appreciative enquiry, empowerment evaluation, social capital,
social return on investment, outcomes based evaluation, performance dashboards and scorecards and developmental evaluation. Each of these sections will include specific methods, the values base of each methodo ...

The document discusses the development of a method for classifying evaluation activities at a foundation. It identifies key questions around understanding the portfolio of evaluations and developing useful categories for managing them. A six-dimension method was created using factors like program area, budget, evaluation design, report author, funder, and deliverable due date. The method was analyzed and refined iteratively with program staff. It will help focus evaluation efforts, guide decisions around what to evaluate, and improve planning and learning about program performance.
Organizational Capacity-Building Series - Session 6: Program Evaluation
This document summarizes a presentation on program evaluation for NGO partner organizations. It defines program evaluation as the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information about a program to make necessary decisions. There are two main types of evaluations: process evaluations, which verify proper implementation, and outcome evaluations, which assess a program's effectiveness and impact. The presentation outlines key steps for developing an evaluation plan, including determining the purpose and audience, identifying evaluation questions, choosing a methodology, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting findings. It also discusses important considerations like the appropriate evaluator and presents an activity for participants to develop strategies, outcomes, and discuss an evaluation plan for one of their program objectives.

Assignment: Planning a Needs Assessment II
One of the many reasons social workers conduct needs assessment is to provide support for new programs. Social workers have many methods available to collect necessary data for a needs assessment.
Social workers can use existing data from a wide range of sources, including local and national reports by government and nonprofit agencies, as well as computerized mapping resources. Social workers can gather new data through interviews and surveys with individuals and focus groups. This data can provide the evidence that supports the need for the program.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the needs assessment plans that you and your classmates generated for this week’s Discussion. Also, review the logic models that you created in Week 7 and any literature on needs of caregivers that you used to generate them. Consider the following to stimulate your thinking:
Getting information about the needs of the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use (interview, focus group, questionnaire)?
Finding potential clients:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
Interacting with the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
Submit
a 2- to 3-page paper outlining a hypothetical needs assessment related to the support group program for caregivers. Include the following:
The resources needed to operate this service
The program activities
The desired outcomes
A plan for gathering information about the population served
Justifications for your plans and decisions
A one-paragraph conclusion describing how you might conduct a follow-up to the needs assessment at the implementation stage of the program evaluation

The evaluation of a grant proposal is extremely important. Any grant-writer should know how the grant will be evaluated as they are crafting the proposal. Evaluation criteria may vary from grant to grant, given the nature of the organization and funding. However, there are some evaluation criteria that are more universal. I researched three different grants and looked at their grading criteria to gain a better understanding. The first grant was from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and provides funding for schools to initiate head start programs in their area. The second set of evaluation criteria I reviewed covered all grants related to biomedical research from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Lastly, I reviewed the evaluation criteria for Operating Grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Perhaps the most common criteria for all three grants was the impact that each proposal would create if funded (CIHR, 2016). There seems to be a large focus on the societal impact and significance of the research beyond the specific field. Another important aspect was how the proposal project actually addresses an issue. For example, the HHS uses this criteria specifically: “describes how it will direct head start resources to the greatest need,” (HHS, 2015) so that they can make sure the money is put to good use. This also relates to the criteria that all three used which addresses the issue of whether or not the research is addressing an actual problem, or filling in a gap to improve things. The HHS and NIH grants both look for originality, which seems like legitimate evaluation criteria. A major theme for all three grant evaluation criteria is also the applicants. For example, they look at the qualifications of the applicants, their experience, training, etc. This is important because organizations want to know that if they grant the money, the applicants will actually be able to implement the program successfully.
Based on my research, I would author a grant differently after reading the evaluation criteria. For starters, I would reassess all the details of the grant proposal and examine the
why
and
how
of how my organization will effectively implement the program with the proposed grant money. By knowing exactly what the grant is evaluated is helpful because you know exactly what they are looking for with your proposal. It can also be a wakeup call for an organization to truly assess your capabilities. For example, even though your organization could benefit from the grant, is your organization actually capable of overseeing, implementing, maintaining a new program or project? As a strategy, I would collaborate with similar organizations who have had successful grant proposals with similar agencies to get their input. It could also be helpful to have as many details as possible planned for the actual imp.

The document outlines the Rainbow Framework for planning evaluations. It discusses 9 key areas to consider when planning an evaluation: 1) Manage the evaluation, 2) Define what is being evaluated, 3) Frame the evaluation boundaries, 4) Describe activities, outcomes and context, 5) Understand causes of outcomes, 6) Synthesize data, 7) Report and support use of findings. For each area, it provides questions to guide planning such as deciding purpose, questions, data collection and ensuring findings are used. The framework helps create comprehensive evaluation plans and support effective evaluations.A Good Program Can Improve Educational Outcomes.pdf
We hope this guide helps practitioners and others strengthen programs designed to increase academic achievement, ultimately broadening access to higher education for youth and adults.
We believe that evaluation is a critical part of program design and is necessary for ongoing program improvement. Evaluation requires collecting reliable, current and compelling information to empower stakeholders to make better decisions about programs and organizational practices that directly affect students. A good evaluation is an effective way of gathering information that strengthens programs, identifies problems, and assesses the extent of change over time. A sound evaluation that prompts program improvement is also a positive sign to funders and other stakeholders, and can help to sustain their commitment to your program.
Theories of change are conceptual maps that show how and why program activities will achieve short-term, interim, and long-term outcomes. The underlying assumptions that promote, support, and sustain a program often seem self-evident to program planners. Consequently, they spend too little time clarifying those assumptions for implementers and participants. Explicit theories of change provoke continuous reflection and shared ownership of the work to be accomplished. Even the most experienced program planners sometimes make the mistake of thinking an innovative design will accomplish goals without checking the linkages among assumptions and plans.
Developing a theory of change is a team effort. The collective knowledge and experience of program staff, stakeholders, and participants contribute to formulating a clear, precise statement about how and why a program will work. Using a theory-based approach, program collaborators state what they are doing and why by working backwards from the outcomes they seek to the interventions they plan, and forward from interventions to desired outcomes. When defining a theory of change, program planners usually begin by deciding expected outcomes, aligning outcomes with goals, deciding on the best indicators to evaluate progress toward desired outcomes, and developing specific measures for evaluating results. The end product is a statement of the expected change that specifies how implementation, resources, and evaluation translate into desired outcomes.
Continuously evaluating a theory of change encourages program planners to keep an eye on their goals. Statements about how and why a program will work must be established using the knowledge of program staff, stakeholders, and participants. This statement represents the theory underlying the program plan and shows planners how resources and activities translate to desired improvements and outcomes. It also becomes a framework for program implementation and evaluation.

Working With Families:
The Case of Carol and Joseph
Carol is a 23-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and the
mother of a 1-year-old baby girl. She is currently unemployed,
having previously worked for a house cleaning company. The
baby is healthy and developmentally on target, and she and the
parents appear to be well bonded with one another. Carol lives in
a rented house with her husband, Joseph. Joseph is a 27-year-old,
heterosexual, Hispanic male. He was recently arrested at their
home for a drug deal, which he asserts was a setup. Both parents
were charged with child endangerment because weapons were
found in the child’s crib and drugs were found in the home. The
parents assert that the child never sleeps in the crib but in their
bed. As a result of the parents’ arrest, social services was notified,
and the child was temporarily placed in a kinship care arrangement
with the maternal grandmother, who resides nearby. As a
result of Joseph’s arrest, he was fired from the cleaning company
where he worked, and the family is now experiencing financial
difficulties.
After initial contact was made with the parents, a number of
concerns were noted and the family was recommended for additional
case management. Carol’s mother indicated that she had
concerns about Carol’s drinking habits and stated that Carol’s
father and grandfather were alcoholics. She and the father separated
when Carol was a baby, and Carol has had only limited
contact with him. There appears to be significant tension between
the grandmother and Carol and Joseph. I addressed the alcohol
issue with both parents, who denied there was a problem, but
shortly after the discussion, Carol was involved in a serious car
accident with the baby in the car. She was determined to have been
under the influence of alcohol. I advised Carol that she could not
have any unsupervised contact with her child until she completed
intensive inpatient substance abuse treatment. I made arrangements
for her placement, but after a week, she was discharged
for noncompliance with the rules. She was then referred to an
intensive outpatient program and began therapy there. Initially
her attendance was erratic because she had lost her license as a
result of the DUI. Eventually, however, she became engaged in the
program and began to address her issues. She acknowledged that
she had started using drugs at a very young age but said that she
had only begun drinking in the previous year or so. We discussed
the genetics of her family, and she said that she realized that she
had deteriorated rapidly since beginning to drink and knew that
she simply could not drink alcohol.
Joseph’s mother is deceased, and his father travels extensively
in his job and is not available as a support. Joseph was
very devoted to his mother and was devastated by her premature
death. We discussed the strengths that he and Carol demonstrated
in staying together and working out their p.

A guide for comprehensive needs assessment
A comprehensive needs assessment should identify gaps between a school's current performance and its goals. It provides direction by determining priorities and resources to maximize impact. The assessment involves gathering both qualitative and quantitative data from multiple sources to develop goals and monitor implementation. It is critical for a planning team to conduct the needs assessment and analyze the data to identify root causes and priorities. The results should be used to create SMART goals and select strategies to meet identified needs.

Final Project Guidelines The Final Project for this course.docx
Potential barriers to successful partnerships for my grant project idea include:
- Lack of communication between partnering schools and organizations. Clear and consistent communication will be important for coordinating project activities and ensuring all partners have an understanding of expectations.
- Different priorities or hidden agendas among partners. The goals and objectives of the project need to be clearly defined and agreed upon by all involved to maintain focus on disruptive student intervention and classroom management.
- Limited resources or lack of commitment from some partners. All organizations need to contribute meaningfully for the project to be successful. Roles and responsibilities will need to be clearly outlined.
A Memorandum of Understanding signed by all partners would help formalize commitments. It should describe shared goals

The Future of Evaluation
Orienting Questions
1. How are future program evaluations likely to be different from current evaluations in
• the way in which political considerations are handled?
• the approaches that will be used?
• the involvement of stakeholders?
• who conducts them?
2. How is evaluation like some other activities in organizations?
3. How is evaluation viewed differently in other countries?
We have reached the last chapter of this book, but we have only begun to share
what is known about program evaluation. The references we have made to other
writings reflect only a fraction of the existing literature in this growing field. In
choosing to focus attention on (1) alternative approaches to program evaluation,
and (2) practical guidelines for planning, conducting, reporting, and using evalu-
ation studies, we have tried to emphasize what we believe is most important to
include in any single volume that aspires to give a broad overview of such a complex
and multifaceted field. We hope we have selected well, but we encourage students
and evaluation practitioners to go beyond this text to explore the richness and
depth of other evaluation literature. In this final chapter, we share our perceptions
and those of a few of our colleagues about evaluation’s future.
The Future of Evaluation
Hindsight is inevitably better than foresight, and ours is no exception. Yet present
circumstances permit us to hazard a few predictions that we believe will hold true
for program evaluation in the next few decades. History will determine whether

Predictions Concerning the Profession
of Evaluation
1. Evaluation will become an increasingly useful force in our society. As
noted, evaluation will have increasing impacts on programs, on organizations, and
on society. Many of the movements we have discussed in this text—performance
monitoring, organizational learning, and others—illustrate the increasing interest
in and impact of evaluation in different sectors. Evaluative means of thinking will
improve ways of planning and delivering programs and policies to achieve their
intended effects and, more broadly, improve society.
2. Evaluation will increase in the United States and in other developed
countries as the pressure for accountability weighs heavily on governments and
nonprofit organizations that deliver vital services. The emphasis on accountability
and data-based decision making has increased dramatically in the first decade of
the twenty-first century. Also, virtually every trend points to more, not less, eval-
uation in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in the future. In some organi-
zations, the focus is on documenting outcomes in response to external political
pressures. In other organizations, evaluation is being used for organizational
growth and development, which should, ultimately, improve the achievement of
those outcomes. In each context, however, evaluation is in dema ...
Needs assessment
The document outlines the steps for conducting an education needs assessment. It discusses that an education needs assessment establishes the need for a particular project by examining audience interest, knowledge, and environmental issues. The needs assessment process involves planning, defining participants, designing data collection strategies, gathering and analyzing data, and reporting results to identify priority needs. Key steps include using the TOP model to guide data collection, determining appropriate sampling, designing instruments, and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data collected. The overall goal is to systematically identify any gaps in existing education services to effectively design new education projects.
Social Work Research Planning a Program EvaluationJoan is a soc.docx
Social Work Research: Planning a Program Evaluation
Joan is a social worker who is currently enrolled in a social work PhD program. She is planning to conduct her dissertation research project with a large nonprofit child welfare organization where she has worked as a site coordinator for many years. She has already approached the agency director with her interest, and the leadership team of the agency stated that they would like to collaborate on the research project.
The child welfare organization at the center of the planned study has seven regional centers that operate fairly independently. The primary focus of work is on foster care; that is, recruiting and training foster parents and running a regular foster care program with an emphasis on family foster care. The agency has a residential program as well, but it will not participate in the study. Each of the regional centers services about 45–50 foster parents and approximately 100 foster children. On average, five to six new foster families are recruited at each center on a quarterly basis. This number has been consistent over the past 2 years.
Recently it was decided that a new training program for incoming foster parents would be used by the organization. The primary goals of this new training program include reducing foster placement disruptions, improving the quality of services delivered, and increasing child well-being through better trained and skilled foster families. Each of the regional centers will participate and implement the new training program. Three of the sites will start the program immediately, while the other four centers will not start until 12 months from now. The new training program consists of six separate 3-hour training sessions that are typically conducted in a biweekly format. It is a fairly proceduralized training program; that is, a very detailed set of manuals and training materials exists. All trainings will be conducted by the same two instructors. The current training program that it will replace differs considerably in its focus, but it also uses a 6-week, 3-hour format. It will be used by those sites not immediately participating until the new program is implemented.
Joan has done a thorough review of the foster care literature and has found that there has been no research on the training program to date, even though it is being used by a growing number of agencies. She also found that there are some standardized instruments that she could use for her study. In addition, she would need to create a set of Likert-type scales for the study. She will be able to use a group design because all seven regional centers are interested in participating and they are starting the training at different times.

17- Program Evaluation a beginner’s guide.pdf
This document provides an overview of program evaluation. It discusses that the key goal of program evaluation is to determine whether a program works and how it can be improved. It covers important aspects of planning an evaluation such as determining the evaluation question, developing a logic model or theory of change, and choosing an appropriate design such as experimental, quasi-experimental, or case study. Experimental design using random assignment to treatment and control groups can provide clear evidence of a program's impact but has limitations. The document discusses various methods for data collection and analysis to evaluate a program's outcomes and processes.

Assignment 2: RA 2: Program Evaluation Plan
Program evaluation is an essential practice in human services organizations that provides a systematic and scientific approach for decision-making and program intervention. This process ensures that agencies perform effectively by being outcome-oriented and accountable. Since human services are often made up of many elements with complex relationships and dynamics, an evaluator needs to engage in collaborative reflection with key stakeholders, be grounded in people's experiences, and use data to ask good questions.
For this assignment, build upon the needs assessment conducted in
M3 Assignment 2 RA 1
and design a program evaluation plan using appropriate evaluation frameworks discussed in the earlier modules.
Tasks:
Using at least 3–5 scholarly resources from the professional literature, research program evaluation. The literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

Program's Context
: Identify the setting (including mission and objectives of the program), target population, and environmental influences within which the program operates.
Purpose of Evaluation
: State the purpose of your evaluation. Having a clear purpose prevents hasty decisions in how an evaluation should be conducted. It could be for introducing a new approach to practice, to change an existing one, or to evaluate the effect of existing program activities.
Expected Effects
: Describe the desired outcomes (short- and long-term ones) for the program to be successful.
Stakeholders
: Identify all the stakeholders who would need to be engaged in the evaluation.
Design of Framework
: Choose an evaluation framework that will influence what type of resources will be used as evidence, how that evidence will be gathered and analyzed, and what kind of claims can be made.
Resources (What Is the Required Data?)
: Determine criteria for effectiveness of the program and the data that would need to be collected to meet the selected criteria.
Selection of Methods (How Can We Get It?)
: Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different data-gathering techniques and information analysis approaches to ensure quality in the evidence gathered.
Findings (What Does the Data Mean?)
: Highlight important evaluation findings, including effective strategies to interpret, and present results and recommendations for the program to the stakeholders.
Dissemination of the Findings
: Select appropriate communication strategies and develop a communication plan using appropriate media and technology to inform the stakeholders.
Plan for Follow Up for Ongoing Improvement (What Are We Going to Do Now?)
: Determine how the results will be implemented and monitored.

The field of program evaluation presents a diversity of images a.docx
The field of program evaluation presents a diversity of images and claims about the nature and role of evaluation that confounds any attempt to construct a coher- ent account of its methods or confidently identify important new developments. We take the view that the overarching goal of the program evaluation enterprise is to contribute to the improvement of social conditions by providing scientifically credible information and balanced judgment to legitimate social agents about the effectiveness of interventions intended to produce social benefits. Because of its centrality in this perspective, this review focuses on outcome evaluation, that is, the assessment of the effects of interventions upon the populations they are intended to benefit. The coverage of this topic is concentrated on literature published within the last decade with particular attention to the period subsequent to the related reviews by Cook and Shadish (1994) on social experiments and Sechrest & Figueredo (1993) on program evaluation.
The word ‘evaluation’ has become increasingly used in the language of community, health and social services and programs. The growth of talk and practice of evaluation in these fields has often been promoted and encouraged by funders and commissioners of services and programs. Following the interest of funders, has been a growth in the study and practice of evaluation by community, health and social service practitioners and academics. When we consider why this move in evaluative thinking and practice has occurred, we can assume the position of the funder and simply answer, ‘...because we want to know if this program or service works’. Practitioners, specialists and academics in these fields have been called upon by governments and philanthropists to aid the development of effective evaluation. Over time, they have led their own thinking and practice independently. Evaluation in its simplest form is about understanding the effect and impact of a program, service, or indeed a whole organization. Evaluation as a practice is not so simple however, largely because in order to assess impact, we need to be very clear at the beginning what effect or difference we are trying to achieve.
The literature review begins with an overview of qualitative and quantitative research methods, followed by a description of key forms of evaluation. Health promotion evaluation and advocacy and policy evaluation will then be explored as two specific domains. These domains are not evaluation methodologies, but forms of evaluation that present unique requirements for effective community development evaluation. Following this discussion, the review will explore eight key evaluation methodologies: appreciative enquiry, empowerment evaluation, social capital,
social return on investment, outcomes based evaluation, performance dashboards and scorecards and developmental evaluation. Each of these sections will include specific methods, the values base of each methodo ...

The document discusses the development of a method for classifying evaluation activities at a foundation. It identifies key questions around understanding the portfolio of evaluations and developing useful categories for managing them. A six-dimension method was created using factors like program area, budget, evaluation design, report author, funder, and deliverable due date. The method was analyzed and refined iteratively with program staff. It will help focus evaluation efforts, guide decisions around what to evaluate, and improve planning and learning about program performance.
Organizational Capacity-Building Series - Session 6: Program Evaluation
This document summarizes a presentation on program evaluation for NGO partner organizations. It defines program evaluation as the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information about a program to make necessary decisions. There are two main types of evaluations: process evaluations, which verify proper implementation, and outcome evaluations, which assess a program's effectiveness and impact. The presentation outlines key steps for developing an evaluation plan, including determining the purpose and audience, identifying evaluation questions, choosing a methodology, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting findings. It also discusses important considerations like the appropriate evaluator and presents an activity for participants to develop strategies, outcomes, and discuss an evaluation plan for one of their program objectives.

Assignment: Planning a Needs Assessment II
One of the many reasons social workers conduct needs assessment is to provide support for new programs. Social workers have many methods available to collect necessary data for a needs assessment.
Social workers can use existing data from a wide range of sources, including local and national reports by government and nonprofit agencies, as well as computerized mapping resources. Social workers can gather new data through interviews and surveys with individuals and focus groups. This data can provide the evidence that supports the need for the program.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the needs assessment plans that you and your classmates generated for this week’s Discussion. Also, review the logic models that you created in Week 7 and any literature on needs of caregivers that you used to generate them. Consider the following to stimulate your thinking:
Getting information about the needs of the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use (interview, focus group, questionnaire)?
Finding potential clients:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
Interacting with the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
Submit
a 2- to 3-page paper outlining a hypothetical needs assessment related to the support group program for caregivers. Include the following:
The resources needed to operate this service
The program activities
The desired outcomes
A plan for gathering information about the population served
Justifications for your plans and decisions
A one-paragraph conclusion describing how you might conduct a follow-up to the needs assessment at the implementation stage of the program evaluation

The evaluation of a grant proposal is extremely important. Any grant-writer should know how the grant will be evaluated as they are crafting the proposal. Evaluation criteria may vary from grant to grant, given the nature of the organization and funding. However, there are some evaluation criteria that are more universal. I researched three different grants and looked at their grading criteria to gain a better understanding. The first grant was from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and provides funding for schools to initiate head start programs in their area. The second set of evaluation criteria I reviewed covered all grants related to biomedical research from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Lastly, I reviewed the evaluation criteria for Operating Grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Perhaps the most common criteria for all three grants was the impact that each proposal would create if funded (CIHR, 2016). There seems to be a large focus on the societal impact and significance of the research beyond the specific field. Another important aspect was how the proposal project actually addresses an issue. For example, the HHS uses this criteria specifically: “describes how it will direct head start resources to the greatest need,” (HHS, 2015) so that they can make sure the money is put to good use. This also relates to the criteria that all three used which addresses the issue of whether or not the research is addressing an actual problem, or filling in a gap to improve things. The HHS and NIH grants both look for originality, which seems like legitimate evaluation criteria. A major theme for all three grant evaluation criteria is also the applicants. For example, they look at the qualifications of the applicants, their experience, training, etc. This is important because organizations want to know that if they grant the money, the applicants will actually be able to implement the program successfully.
Based on my research, I would author a grant differently after reading the evaluation criteria. For starters, I would reassess all the details of the grant proposal and examine the
why
and
how
of how my organization will effectively implement the program with the proposed grant money. By knowing exactly what the grant is evaluated is helpful because you know exactly what they are looking for with your proposal. It can also be a wakeup call for an organization to truly assess your capabilities. For example, even though your organization could benefit from the grant, is your organization actually capable of overseeing, implementing, maintaining a new program or project? As a strategy, I would collaborate with similar organizations who have had successful grant proposals with similar agencies to get their input. It could also be helpful to have as many details as possible planned for the actual imp.

The document outlines the Rainbow Framework for planning evaluations. It discusses 9 key areas to consider when planning an evaluation: 1) Manage the evaluation, 2) Define what is being evaluated, 3) Frame the evaluation boundaries, 4) Describe activities, outcomes and context, 5) Understand causes of outcomes, 6) Synthesize data, 7) Report and support use of findings. For each area, it provides questions to guide planning such as deciding purpose, questions, data collection and ensuring findings are used. The framework helps create comprehensive evaluation plans and support effective evaluations.A Good Program Can Improve Educational Outcomes.pdf
We hope this guide helps practitioners and others strengthen programs designed to increase academic achievement, ultimately broadening access to higher education for youth and adults.
We believe that evaluation is a critical part of program design and is necessary for ongoing program improvement. Evaluation requires collecting reliable, current and compelling information to empower stakeholders to make better decisions about programs and organizational practices that directly affect students. A good evaluation is an effective way of gathering information that strengthens programs, identifies problems, and assesses the extent of change over time. A sound evaluation that prompts program improvement is also a positive sign to funders and other stakeholders, and can help to sustain their commitment to your program.
Theories of change are conceptual maps that show how and why program activities will achieve short-term, interim, and long-term outcomes. The underlying assumptions that promote, support, and sustain a program often seem self-evident to program planners. Consequently, they spend too little time clarifying those assumptions for implementers and participants. Explicit theories of change provoke continuous reflection and shared ownership of the work to be accomplished. Even the most experienced program planners sometimes make the mistake of thinking an innovative design will accomplish goals without checking the linkages among assumptions and plans.
Developing a theory of change is a team effort. The collective knowledge and experience of program staff, stakeholders, and participants contribute to formulating a clear, precise statement about how and why a program will work. Using a theory-based approach, program collaborators state what they are doing and why by working backwards from the outcomes they seek to the interventions they plan, and forward from interventions to desired outcomes. When defining a theory of change, program planners usually begin by deciding expected outcomes, aligning outcomes with goals, deciding on the best indicators to evaluate progress toward desired outcomes, and developing specific measures for evaluating results. The end product is a statement of the expected change that specifies how implementation, resources, and evaluation translate into desired outcomes.
Continuously evaluating a theory of change encourages program planners to keep an eye on their goals. Statements about how and why a program will work must be established using the knowledge of program staff, stakeholders, and participants. This statement represents the theory underlying the program plan and shows planners how resources and activities translate to desired improvements and outcomes. It also becomes a framework for program implementation and evaluation.

12Working With FamiliesThe Case of Carol and JosephCa.docx

Working With Families:
The Case of Carol and Joseph
Carol is a 23-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and the
mother of a 1-year-old baby girl. She is currently unemployed,
having previously worked for a house cleaning company. The
baby is healthy and developmentally on target, and she and the
parents appear to be well bonded with one another. Carol lives in
a rented house with her husband, Joseph. Joseph is a 27-year-old,
heterosexual, Hispanic male. He was recently arrested at their
home for a drug deal, which he asserts was a setup. Both parents
were charged with child endangerment because weapons were
found in the child’s crib and drugs were found in the home. The
parents assert that the child never sleeps in the crib but in their
bed. As a result of the parents’ arrest, social services was notified,
and the child was temporarily placed in a kinship care arrangement
with the maternal grandmother, who resides nearby. As a
result of Joseph’s arrest, he was fired from the cleaning company
where he worked, and the family is now experiencing financial
difficulties.
After initial contact was made with the parents, a number of
concerns were noted and the family was recommended for additional
case management. Carol’s mother indicated that she had
concerns about Carol’s drinking habits and stated that Carol’s
father and grandfather were alcoholics. She and the father separated
when Carol was a baby, and Carol has had only limited
contact with him. There appears to be significant tension between
the grandmother and Carol and Joseph. I addressed the alcohol
issue with both parents, who denied there was a problem, but
shortly after the discussion, Carol was involved in a serious car
accident with the baby in the car. She was determined to have been
under the influence of alcohol. I advised Carol that she could not
have any unsupervised contact with her child until she completed
intensive inpatient substance abuse treatment. I made arrangements
for her placement, but after a week, she was discharged
for noncompliance with the rules. She was then referred to an
intensive outpatient program and began therapy there. Initially
her attendance was erratic because she had lost her license as a
result of the DUI. Eventually, however, she became engaged in the
program and began to address her issues. She acknowledged that
she had started using drugs at a very young age but said that she
had only begun drinking in the previous year or so. We discussed
the genetics of her family, and she said that she realized that she
had deteriorated rapidly since beginning to drink and knew that
she simply could not drink alcohol.
Joseph’s mother is deceased, and his father travels extensively
in his job and is not available as a support. Joseph was
very devoted to his mother and was devastated by her premature
death. We discussed the strengths that he and Carol demonstrated
in staying together and working out their p.

10-1 Discussion: Typical vs. Atypical Development
Throughout this course, we have explored different aspects of development, and research has presented a variety of influences in the form of biological, social, emotional, and cognitive domains. At the end of nearly every chapter reading, a holistic position began to emerge that acknowledges the contribution by each domain. In our final discussion, reflect on whether a holistic approach is just as effective for accounting for atypical development as it is for typical development. Utilize examples from the course to support your position, or consider using an issue of atypical development to provide context (e.g., autism or antisocial behavior).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 1. My project idea is developing a grant that will assist with disruptive/unruly high school students. Once this proposal is developed and funded it will assist schools and their teachers with methods that will allow them to be more in control of their classrooms which will ultimately promote effectiveness and a higher graduation rate. Better classroom management techniques will be more appealing to stakeholders and other organizations because it will make education in the public school system more marketable when compared to private schools. Assignment 2: Final Project: Writing the Grant Part 2: Methodology and Evaluation Plans The methodology section is one of the core components of the grant. This section is concerned with addressing the question: “How will you carry out the project?” (Gitlin & Lyons, 2014, p. 92). For example, if your proposal is for a nonprofit-related project, you might identify the population served or indicate who will receive services. Depending on the grant type, you may also include the research sample and associated inclusion criteria. A research proposal may also include the research design strategy, assumptions, validity, reliability, statistical analysis, timeline, and evaluation plans. Finally, in this section you may address human resources requirements and materials or supplies needed to complete the project. In recent years, evaluation plans have become increasingly important to prospective funders. Competition for grants is intense, and funders must feel confident that money will be well spent and that projects can be appropriately evaluated. This is an important consideration for the grant seeker as well. Your organization will also want to be assured that the time and effort put into a project proves that the objectives are met and if not, why.
- 2. For this Assignment: Review the Final Project Guidelines provided in this module’s Learning Resources. Carefully review your Gitlin & Lyons text, the University of Wisconsin-Extension resource, and the Community Tool Box resource as well as other Learning Resources that focus on methodology and evaluation. You may also find additional online information from reputable grant-related organizations, such as Foundation Center and individual private funders. Remember that this content must demonstrate that it addresses funder interests as well as the grantee perspective. In 3–5 pages, provide your Methodology and Evaluation Plans. In developing the methodology for your project, keep these thoughts in mind: A project should undertake only activities that will move it toward the objectives. If any activities are not necessary for reaching the objectives, do not include them in the proposal. The methodology includes the day-to-day, week-to-week, and/or month-to-month activities that will be carried out during the project period. The Methodology includes:
- 3. Program description Research design Human subjects (sample) Study validity and reliability Assumptions and limitations Time line Analysis (and/or see Evaluation below) Non-personnel resources Facilities, supplies, technology, etc. Any non-personnel resources that will appear in the proposal budget should be described Personnel resources Who will be assigned or hired? Management plan (Work plan)
- 4. Who will be responsible for which activities What is the timeline associated with activities (first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter, ongoing)? How will the project be managed? The Evaluation Plan includes: Description of the specific criteria that will measure the success of the project Explanation of data that will be collected Verify if your grant application will require an institutional review board (IRB) approval. Explanation of the data collection plans at the beginning, mid- program, and final evaluation Evaluation instruments that will be used and an explanation of why these instruments were selected Plans for writing the periodic reports to keep the funder updated References Gitlin, L. N., & Lyons, K. J. (2014).
