Evaluation 6 Step Process

BeginnersNew

An online session that will outline and explain a simple 6-step process for designing and embedding evaluation for Access & Participation interventions and programmes. The process has been developed by the Cambridge Admissions Office and is flexible enough to be applied to many A&P interventions, regardless of the student lifecycle stage in question.

Any staff responsible for the delivery and evaluation of Access & Participation interventions, whether it's outreach work with potential applicants or current students. Any level of experience is welcome, though the course is aimed at those fairly new to evaluation of programmes or looking to embed a new structured approach.

Number of sessions: 1

Evaluation Process Planning

Understand the 6-step process for evaluation and how to implement it locally.

1. DEFINE - What is being evaluated? How is it understood to work?
2. FRAME - Parameters of the evaluation - purposes, questions and scaling
3. PLAN - Methods, ethics and logistics
4. IMPLEMENT - Undertake data collection alongside programme/intervention delivery
5. REVIEW - Cyclical reflective practice and review of evaluation results
6. REPORT - Present and disseminate findings in appropriate ways for intended users and to support wider use
