| Abstract: Developed by Johnston Research Inc., this holistic evaluation tool, grounded in Anishnawbe traditional knowledge was created for program providers. It's a self-evaluation tool allowing programs to document both meaningful process and outcomes over time. It's also a learning tool that promotes growth and self-development among the program participants. By applying the tool at various program-milestones a full picture can be documented of the personal journeys of the participants in a systematic manner. The traditional knowledge tool provides a framework from which program participants can easily relate. Participants like the tool because the storytelling is driven by them through their own eyes and at their own pace. We will review the manual, see the 20-minute video, complete the paper and crayon exercise and incorporate our stories into an evaluation report. You will take home your story, as well as a copy of the DVD and manual. We offer additional training. |
