Managing Evaluation: Continuing the Conversation |

| Abstract:
This roundtable continues the conversation on how to recognize, assess, train and evaluate professionals to manage evaluation studies, evaluators, and an evaluation unit. The goal is to foster greater recognition of managing evaluation within the profession, to gain legitimacy for the practice and to begin education and training in doing this work at an expert level.
The discussion will be grounded in, but not limited to our recent New Directions for Evaluation issue, Managing Program Evaluation: Towards Explicating a Professional Practice. Therein, we collected case examples of expert managing and analyzed these, assessed the literature and proposed foci for study, and education and training curricula and pedagogy. We will continue touching on these topics and will distribute handouts on these.
The roundtable is an alternate format for us to keeping the attention on this vital evaluation practice, while collecting data from participants useful for critiquing our analyses and proposals, and for recruiting others who are managing or would like managing to be their evaluation career.

| Roundtable Rotation II:
Directors of Research Ensuring Quality in Practice |
|
Roundtable Presentation 588 to be held in MISSION A on Friday, Nov 12, 1:40 PM to 3:10 PM
|
|
Sponsored by the Evaluation Managers and Supervisors TIG

| Presenter(s):
|
| Colleen Manning, Goodman Research Group Inc, manning@grginc.com
|
| Abstract:
Attend this roundtable to learn what other directors of research are doing to ensure evaluation quality, from the theoretical to the practical. Find out how your practices are similar to and differ from those of your fellow directors. Hopefully, you will leave the discussion with some new contacts and new strategies for your work! For the purposes of this session, we are defining a “director” as someone who provides leadership and oversight to others who carry out evaluations. The facilitator is a director of research at a small research and evaluation firm.
