Independent Evaluation Services

Many programs require independent, external evaluation due to funder requirements or because they are too large or complex to evaluate with internal resources.

 

I conduct evaluations in libraries and other informal learning contexts, formal education settings, and social service and community-based contexts. I have particular expertise evaluating programs focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning in informal contexts. Depending on your needs, I evaluate program effectiveness, quality, and relevance and identify opportunities to improve.

​

I can:

• Design and conduct evaluations of your existing programs, services, and initiatives.

• Help you articulate the desired outcomes of new projects and align your activities to reach them.

• Develop the evaluation plan for your grant proposals and position your project for success with funders.

• Foster adaptive learning within your project team by guiding reflection on key findings and identifying implications for future work.
