How to Create a Program Evaluation for Your Non-Profit

In this 1.5 hour long project-based course, you will learn how to create a program evaluation plan for your non-profit. By the end of the course, you will understand the importance of program evaluation, how to use Logic Models, how to write SMART goals for your program, and how to formulate good questions to gather the data you need. Learning Objectives: Task 1: Understand why evaluation is valuable for your program or organization. Task 2: Learn how to identify and define the typical components of a Logic Model. Task 3: Write SMART goals for a program outcome. Task 4: Identify different measurement tools and how they will be helpful in the evaluation process. Task 5: Understand what makes a good question, identify different types of questions, and practice writing good questions. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

• Project Overview
• By the end of this project, you will have created a sample Evaluation Plan using a Mock Program. The plan will include a Logic Model with a problem statement, resources, activities, outputs, and outcomes. You will also identify measurement tools and script sample questions. The sample Logic Model and Evaluation Plan will serve as a guide to fully develop an Evaluation Plan for your selected program as well as other programs within your organization.
