Do you have an upcoming workshop that would benefit from the expertise of a team of external evaluators? Get in touch and we’ll help you design a plan for you and your participants to get the most value from the experience. We frequently support professional development workshops with a clear evaluation plan for before, during, and after the event. Below are some sample activities for workshop evaluation design.
Front-end evaluation
- Registration surveys to gauge the demographics, goals, and content knowledge of the workshop participants
- Results can be used to fine-tune the workshop topics and schedule
Formative evaluation
- Daily feedback gathered during short end-of-day surveys
- Observations made by on-site evaluator
- Daily debrief with workshop leaders
- Results can be used to modify remaining portion of the workshop
Summative evaluation
- End-of-workshop survey to measure if participant goals were met, knowledge gained, and/or analyze change
Follow-up survey
- Measures retention, change, usability of workshop content
