Building Evaluation Capacity Through Custom Training
Our Custom Training service empowers your organizational leadership and project teams to strengthen their project planning and evaluation skills through tailored professional development. Each training is designed around your specific goals — whether that involves evaluation plan development, logic model creation, introduction to qualitative data analysis, the strategic implications of a prior data analysis or something else entirely. Drawing from extensive experience in Computer Science Education, evaluating STEM education and research projects and working in the tech industry, we design and facilitate half day, full day or multi-day interactive sessions that will make the most of your valuable time.

Tailored Learning for Real-World Application
Each custom training engagement begins with a needs assessment and stakeholder engagement process to identify your specific learning priorities and organizational context. Sessions may include interactive workshops, or discussions of when and how to use different evaluation tools such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, document analysis, and case studies. The goal is to provide actionable skills that directly support your strategic planning, program or project implementation and ongoing assessment efforts. By the end of the training, you will walk away with a shared understanding of evaluation principles as they apply to your current needs and the ability to apply evaluative thinking across projects.
