SUMMARY:Navigating Evaluation Challenges
DESCRIPTION:About This Event: \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin this engaging workshop on “Navigating Evaluation Challenges\,” where we will explore the complexities of conducting impactful evaluations in diverse settings. This workshop uses a typology of evaluation challenges commonly encountered by practicing evaluators to frame workshop dimensions. This interactive session will delve into the methodological challenges of data collection\, analysis\, and validity\, helping participants develop strategies to enhance validity and reliability. We will also examine conceptual challenges\, such as framing and defining evaluation goals that align with organizational priorities. Ethical considerations will be a focal point\, with discussions on transparency\, consent\, and cultural sensitivity. Additionally\, we’ll address cross-cutting issues like stakeholder engagement\, resource constraints\, and the need for adaptable evaluation frameworks. It includes methodological\, conceptual\, ethical\, as well as cross-cutting challenges. Examples are drawn from academic literature\, personal and professional practice to encourage collective reflection\, areas for improvement\, and lessons learned. This workshop is ideal for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of evaluation practices and overcome common obstacles in their work. \nAbout the Facilitator: \nJane Whynot\, MEd\, PhD – is a Partner at Goss Gilroy Management Consultants Inc (GGI)\, Jane has almost 30 years of experience in evaluation and performance measurement.
