This one-day training introduces participants to outcome evaluation, and
takes participants through the steps of developing outcomes and measures,
and planning for data collection and reporting. The workshop combines
instruction with hands-on practice.
Outcomes are designed to demonstrate through documentation that intended
results of programs have been achieved. An added benefit is that programs
are able to see for themselves how effective they have been and where
improvements can be made. This session presents an approach to outcomes
that is easy to implement and simple to process. The results of two large-scale,
multiple-site evaluations are covered, with an explanation of how similar
basic outcome measures approaches can be achieved. Discussion of the results,
their meaning, and the process necessary to obtain these and similar outcome
measures from agency staff will be provided.
