Evaluation Resources: Materials & Methods
Evaluation Guides :: Research Articles :: Evaluation Toolkits :: Other Evaluation Resources
Evaluation toolkits comprise a collection of information, tools, and resources that organizations can work with to develop customized evaluation plans and instruments. While we did not find a toolkit specifically designed for youth media and technology programs, typically the contents of such toolkits are easily adapted. Some of these include steps for carrying out early phases of an evaluation plan, such as needs assessment, as well as sample tools and additional resources.
Examples:
America Connects Consortium (ACC) has developed a toolkit to assist community technology centers in evaluating their programs, staff, and clients.
