Program
Evaluation Plan (10-15 pages, including title page, references and
attachments). Students are expected to apply all knowledge gained in past
research courses and throughout this course to create a program evaluation plan
for Wilmington Job Corps Center . This plan must include mixed
methodology approach (at least one qualitative and one quantitative element in
the design). Please refer to your textbook and course modules on more
information on surveys, client satisfaction, clinical measures, interviews,
focus groups, etc. as possible design elements. You must include a copy
of your data collection instruments as attachments to the plan. The
grading rubric should be closely followed when developing and revising your
plan. Details must be given on why each of the methodology elements was
selected. Please use the following format for your plan.
1. A brief description of the program (including the mission) that
you plan to evaluate including the population that is being served. If the
program includes more than one intervention, select only one to evaluate. The
goals, objectives, and activities used to implement the program or intervention
(1 page); 2. Literature review- look at the literature on evaluation of similar
programs. (1-2 pages) What measures were used and what methodology was
selected. Back up your choices with what others have done. 3.
Methodology (2-3 pages). Research Design, research questions, variables,
instruments, recruitment and sampling, ethical protections (informed consent, risks
and benefits, etc), strengths and limitations of the design (back up your
statements from the literature), data collection, data analysis (remember that
quantitative and qualitative data analysis use different procedures, you need
to discuss both plans); 4. A logic model for your plan (1 page) (see text pages
122-127. This logic model is specific to your evaluation plan. 5. Timeline for evaluation (1 page). 6. staffing plan
(1 page) (who will do the evaluation- 1 person, more than 1 person, why?
