Program evaluation
Is the program working, and for whom?
I work with your team to set evaluation questions, develop instruments, and collect data across the life of the program. I offer both formative and summative evaluation, with scopes ranging from a retrospective evaluation of a completed program to end-to-end evaluation.
- You get
- An evaluation plan, survey and interview instruments, interim findings, and a final report written for funders and program staff
- Good fit
- Grant-funded programs that need an external evaluator
Program and curriculum design
What should this program teach, and how?
I develop or co-develop curricula, credentials, and training programs grounded in published research, grey literature, and new data where it is needed, working alongside your faculty or subject matter experts
- You get
- Competency frameworks, course and module outlines, and credential structures
- Good fit
- Certificates and microcredentials, apprenticeships, and professional development programs
Facilitation
How do we get useful answers from the right people?
Interviews, focus groups, expert panels, and advisory board sessions, designed so the conversation produces data you can use. I am comfortable in rooms that mix technical experts, leadership, funders, and program officers.
- You get
- Protocols, facilitated sessions, and a written synthesis
- Good fit
- Standards and credentialing panels, advisory boards, and stakeholder workshops
How I work
The same five steps, whether the data are 20 interviews or 20,000 survey comments. I can work as autonomously or collaboratively as your team needs.
Scope the question
We agree on what you need to know and what decision it will inform
Design the study
I choose the methods, sample, and instruments that can answer that question
Collect the data
Interviews, focus groups, surveys, or existing records
Analyze
By hand, with LLM-assisted workflows, or both, with LLM coding checked against mine before it is used
Report back
Findings in the format your team will use: a report, a briefing, or a working session
