Introduction to Program Evaluation

  • Online
  • Online

Registration is now open. The course will be available to register from April 1st - June 5th.

This online workshop is for local governments, providing a broad overview of program evaluation facilitated by the School of Government's Dr. Maureen Berner. This course is a primer on evaluating proposed and existing programs for local governments and discerning their efficacy and viability within a community.

Note: This course fulfills the evaluation requirement for the CLGBO Certification and NCLGBA Certification and continuing education.

Throughout the one-day workshop we will refer to your own situation and you will be asked to apply the ideas to the program, policy or process you have, or are in the process of evaluating in your own organization. The goal of the workshop is to let you start with an idea and leave with a jump start on your final report.
