What?
A place where you can look for ideas about clues to tell if your program is having the impact you hoped it would. In evaluation speak, these are called INDICATORS. We have compiled indicators that have been used by a variety of arts organizations and projects to learn about different parts of their program, including:
- Process indicators
- Outcome indicators
- Identity indicators
Why?
Time and money are tight and you can’t measure everything under the sun. It is important to be choosy and select a few key indicators that are going to give you the information you need
Who?
Whoever is in charge of developing your evaluation plan and data collection tools
When?
This can be a useful place to look when you are developing a new survey, a focus group guide or interview questions
Where?
The indicator bank is hosted on GoogleDrive and will be updated on a regular basis with new indicators
