Webinar: Introduction to Program Evaluation

Date: Wednesday, July 18, 2012

Description:
   Please join FHOP for the first webinar in a two part series on program evaluation. This webinar will provide information about types of evaluation, data sources for evaluation, the steps for conducting an evaluation, and the place of evaluation in the program planning process. The second webinar will address using a logic model for program evaluation and developing an evaluation plan.
   Also - a special request - if you have developed any evaluation materials (such pre/post tests) and would be willing to share them with other MCAH programs, please send them to FHOP. We may use them as examples during the webinar, and we will post materials on the MCAH Marketplace so that others can find and adapt them.

Training Objectives:
At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Identify at least 3 reasons evaluating programs is important
2. Describe and distinguish between different types of evaluation
3. Discuss how evaluation fits in a logic model framework
4. Select an evaluation design that matches your outcome objectives
5. Discuss and distinguish between designs for process evaluation and outcome evaluation
