| Abstract:
This session will discuss approaches and share resources for guiding non-evaluators through the process of designing educational program evaluations. As a starting point for the discussion, we will review a self-study guide recently developed by the Office of Consultation and Research in Medical Education at the University of Iowa. The guide has been distributed in workshops that walk participants through the evaluation design process. The guide and workshops feature a case study of an educational intervention that illustrates the recommended design process. Participants then apply these principles in designing evaluations for selected components or interventions in their own educational programs. After a brief discussion of this approach, roundtable participants will have the remainder of the session to share their successful practices and resources for teaching evaluation to non-evaluators.

| Abstract:
An evaluator’s work is affected by our client’s view of us. A quality evaluation requires an honest exchange between the evaluator and subjects of the evaluation. It requires trust on both sides and a shared belief that the evaluation performs an important formative and/or summative function.
This roundtable describes several views clients and stakeholders may have of evaluators and evaluation, the issues that may arise with each, challenges in collecting data in these situations, and strategies for developing a more productive relationship with the subjects of our evaluation, along with discussions of how the AEA Guiding Principles apply in each situation. Participants will share their experiences and discuss strategies for dealing with issues and dilemmas they have faced, and benefit from the experiences of others.
Views of evaluators that will be presented include judge, friend of the “boss”, pipeline to the funder, necessary inconvenience, and partner/collaborator.
