SOCW6311 Walden W6 Covenant House Program Evaluation Assignment
Due 4/7/19 by 3PM EST
To ensure the success of a program evaluation, a social worker must generate a specific detailed plan. That plan should describe the goal of the evaluation, the information needed, and the methods and analysis to be used. In addition, the plan should identify and address the concerns of stakeholders. A social worker should present information about the plan in a manner that the stakeholders can understand. This will help the social worker receive the support necessary for a successful evaluation.
To prepare for this Assignment, identify a program evaluation you would like to conduct for a program with which you are familiar. Consider the details of the evaluation, including the purpose, specific questions to address, and type of information to collect.
Then, consider the stakeholders that would be involved in approving that evaluation. Review the resources for samples of program evaluations.
