SUMMARY:Designing Interactive Dashboards Using Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/designing-interactive-dashboards-using-microsoft-excel-and-google-sheets-tickets-163586310057 \nCES-ON is pleased to offer a workshop for learners to develop their technical skills using Excel and Google Sheets to create interactive dashboards. \nCreating dynamic dashboards in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets is a fantastic and cost-effective way to view important data with minimal construction time. This workshop takes you through all you need to know to design interactive dashboards from start to finish. This skill-building workshop will demonstrate how to generate an interactive dashboard in 5 easy-to-learn steps: Pivot\, Analyze\, Rename\, Chart\, and Slice. Using sample survey data\, you will learn how to a) use a Pivot table to analyze data\, b) create a chart using PivotCharts\, c) incorporate Slicers and d) create a professional looking dashboard that allows stakeholders to slice-and-dice the data in seconds. Additionally\, we will share best practices in dashboard design to make your dashboards really pop! Finally\, we will demonstrate how to incorporate inferential statistics (e.g.\, paired samples t-test) into your dashboards that will update as you slice-and-dice your data. After attending the workshop\, you will be equipped with clear steps that you can immediately implement to create stunning dashboards that are dynamic and easy to reproduce. \nThis skill-building workshop is aligned to the following CES competencies: \n\n1.1- This workshop explores new thinking and practices related to interactive dashboards;\n2.8- This workshop will give participants accessible tools and process to help them interpret and present their data;\n2.10- By allowing evaluators and stakeholders the ability to interact with data\, interactive dashboards promote complete and balanced evaluation reporting to support decision-making; and\,\n3.4- Interactive dashboards are an efficient way for evaluators and stakeholders to understand results in real-time.\n\nEvaluation learners and those interested in evaluation digital tools can benefit from this learning experience. Learners will need access to their own Microsoft Excel and Google Sheet to fully engage with the content of this workshop as well as a passion for learning new ways of mobilizing data for knowledge sharing. \nWorkshop Schedule \nSession Dates: Monday\, October 4 and Wednesday\, October 6\, 2021 \nSession Times: 12-1:30 pm for both dates \nAbout the Facilitators \nShelly Engelman\, Ph.D.\, is the Director of Research and Evaluation at Custom EduEval LLC in Austin\, TX. She earned her PhD in Social Psychology and has over 10 years of research and evaluation experience. Dr. Engelman served as an external evaluator on over 40 federal and state funded grants and programs related to STEM Education. She has led over 20 workshops\, seminars\, and webinars for a variety of clients including\, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) in Georgia\, and the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). \nTom Withee is a Senior Researcher at Goshen Education Consulting Inc in Edwardsville\, IL and is their data visualization expert. His involvement with STEM Education for over 15 years and his passion to make STEM Education accessible for everyone is evident throughout his work. Tom is an active member of the American Evaluation Association\, with a focus of STEM Education\, K-12 Education\, and Data Visualization. As a founding member of the Evaluation Association of St. Louis\, he shares his insights on data visualization and clear\, concise reporting.

SUMMARY:Rapid Impact Evaluation
DESCRIPTION:Register through Eventbrite by October 12\, 2021\n\n\nFirst time introductory offer at a one-time membership rate\, CES-ON is pleased and privileged to have worked with Andy Rowe to provide a hands-on introduction professional development opportunity – Rapid Impact Evaluation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nRapid Impact Evaluation offers the ability to evaluate the impacts of a program using developmental and formative evaluation as well as summative. RIE triangulates perspectives of three separate groups of experts. Three methodologies that are central to RIE will provide learners with an understanding to apply RIE. RIE is a cost-efficient and quick approach to assessing impacts and does not intrude on design or implementation of the program. Evaluation learners will benefit when they add RIE to their toolbox of evaluation methods. \nParticipants will have virtual hands-on interactive learning opportunities across multiple sessions that are comprised of three 3-hour learning modules and optional two 2-hour learning labs and one final session for questions and discussions about applications. The labs will offer the opportunity to applying the method using real-world cases using RIE methods learned in the modules. Professionals who participate in RIE will: \n\nDevelop an understanding of principles of RIE and the methods specific to RIE and CE designation credentials.\n\nEvaluation learners and those interested in evaluation methods can benefit from this learning opportunity on a leading example of the trend towards more nimble evaluation methods. No prerequisite of skills/knowledge are needed to fully engage in this learning opportunity except your passion for evaluation. \nWorkshop Schedule \nWorkshop Modules: 12 Hours of Interactive Instructional Learning \n\nMonday October 18th\, 1-4 pm EST\nFriday October 22nd \, 1-4 pm EST\nWednesday October 27th\, 1-4 pm EST\n\nOptional Learning Labs: 6 Hours of Interactive Co-Learning \n\nWednesday October 20th\, 1-3 pm EST\nMonday October 25th \, 1-3 pm EST\nFriday October 29th \, 1-3 pm EST\n\n  \nAbout Andy Rowe \nCES Fellow and Award Winner for Contributions to Evaluation in Canada \n“Over the past 30 years\, Andy Rowe has been actively involved in the field of program evaluation\, both as a tireless advocate for the function of evaluation\, and as a significant contributor to the advancement of evaluation theory and practice \nThrough numerous publications\, lectures and presentations\, Andy has challenged evaluators in Canada and abroad to explore new approaches that could better accommodate the need for timely and relevant information on program results. His work on Rapid Impact Evaluation (RIE)\, the Scenario-Based Counterfactual\, and Metric for Forecasting Impacts are some of the innovative approaches that Andy has been developing and promoting. Andy also stands as a predominant evaluator engaged in the fields of environment and sustainable development\, through multiple assignments in Canada and abroad. He has championed evaluation strategies that place sustainability at the very heart of evaluation’s core mission and mandate and is a founding member of Footprint Evaluation.” \nAndy Rowe has a PhD from the London School of Economics\, is former President of CES\, a CES Fellow and was the founding Chair of the Newfoundland Chapter of CES. He has also served on several Task Forces of the American Evaluation Association. He has engaged in evaluation globally and his current work includes as a member of the Technical Evaluation Reference Group of the Adaptation Fund\, evaluation of smallholder farmer climate adaptation with the International Fund for Agricultural Development and his work with Footprint Evaluation hosted by Better Evaluation and funded by the Global Evaluation Initiative.
