Dr. Pribbenow, Associate Scientist at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research, UW-Madison, gives an overview of evaluating community-based research projects and reviews the steps needed to design and carry out effective evaluations. Her presentation covers topics including partnerships, evaluation questions, logic models, quantitative and qualitative methods, outcomes, reliability/validity, using human subjects, and more. A 20-page handout offers several pen-and-paper learning exercises and provides valuable information and links to key evaluation resources.
