Program Evaluation Content
Program evaluation is an essential, if not the largest, part of agency work. Agencies have many components, or programs and services, that they provide for their clients. For this assignment, you will design a program evaluation.
For this assignment, you have the flexibility to choose an agency or program from your current or past field placement, a job you have held, or any other organization that aligns with the requirements of the assignment. Whether you draw from your hands-on experience in a placement, reflect on a previous position, or explore a different organization, the key is to select a context that allows you to effectively address the assignment’s components.
Consider the agency or program’s relevance to the assignment’s steps, ensuring it provides a suitable backdrop for discussing program details, implementation methods, the target population, and evaluation design. This diversity of options allows you to showcase your understanding and application of course concepts in a real-world context that you find personally meaningful or professionally relevant. Feel free to choose the setting that best aligns with your experiences and interests.

SW591_Simple_Logic_Model_Format.docx
What are your evaluation questions?
What specific evaluation design would you use to evaluate the program?
Would you use quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods and why? Describe your study’s design.

Step 5: Sample
What type of sample would be utilized and why?
How would clients (or sources of data) be recruited, contacted, and followed for the evaluation?
Do you anticipate any problems gathering the sample or with sample attrition? If so, what are possible solutions to these problems?
Step 6: Data Collection/Administration & Analysis
Describe and critique how you would: “administer” the proposed tool and/or instrument (i.e., self-administered, administered by someone other than the client/group to whom, by whom, how often, how much time in between and why, etc.); collect qualitative data (interviews, focus groups, CBPR, observations, etc.); and/or what forms of primary and secondary data you would use.
If you use quantitative methods, describe what findings you would discuss and one statistical test you would use and which data are necessary to utilize that test.
If you use qualitative data, discuss in some depth how you would analyze it.
