Educational Program Evaluation

Systemic Research provides comprehensive educational program evaluation services for the unique needs of your program or project. We will develop an evaluation framework based on your project’s mission statement, goals, objectives, and implementation plans. The framework guides our evaluation as we identify the most effective performance measures and evaluation strategies to assess program progress. Evaluation components may include data collection and evaluation; survey design, implementation, and analysis; site visits, focus groups; and individual interviews. Evaluation reports are produced in both printed and electronic media.

Evaluations may be formative or summative. Formative evaluations are conducted during project implementation to assess project progress. By identifying strategies that are most effective, and those that are not producing desired results, midterm revisions to the project can be made. Summative evaluations are conducted at the conclusion of a project to measure final outcomes and provide information on the project's effectiveness.

Key Indicator Data Collection and Analysis

Data collection is required in today’s outcome oriented environment. Stakeholders are demanding concrete evidence of program effectiveness. Quantitative and qualitative data is needed for project monitoring and evaluation.

Systemic Research has extensive experience in designing and implementing customized data collection instruments. We will work with you to determine the scope and depth of data needed and design a user friendly spread-sheet or web-based data collection system. The collected data will be analyzed and presented in Fact Book, report, or booklet format. Systemic Research also can provide tables and figures in multiple file formats that can be imported into your documents and presentations programs such as Microsoft Word® and PowerPoint®.

Project Highlight Publications

Successful projects should be publicized. Systemic Research can document your accomplishments so that they can be disseminated to stakeholders, potential funders and the general public. We have expertise and experience in producing professionally designed booklets to share your project strategies and successes, and brochures and posters to publicize your project. Systemic Research can also create a supplemental DVD to enhance your printed materials.
