| Abstract:
Learning Objectives: At the end of the presentation, the participant will create an evaluation outline and understand what elements facilitate a useful plan.
An evaluation plan is a document used to guide the planning of activities, process, and outcomes of a program. It is dynamic tool that can change over time, as needed, to complement program changes. It creates directions for accomplishing program goals and objectives by linking evaluation and program planning. Further, it facilitates getting stakeholders buy-in and commitment to program goals, documenting programmatic changes, and identifying and utilizing key resources to accomplish evaluation activities.
This workshop will introduce new evaluators to a guidance document and tools created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office on Smoking and Health, that provides practical guidance on writing an evaluation plan. Each participant will write an evaluation plan outline based on sample exercises.
