Agency Interview:
Students will connect with a counseling agency (e.g., community mental health center) and interview an administrator at the agency. The goal of this interview is to learn about the goals of the agency and the services provided so that students can design a comprehensive program evaluation of the agency’s service delivery. There is a list of potential interview questions on Canvas that students are welcome to use to guide an interview. A 1-2 page summary of the interview highlighting what the students learned
Program Evaluation Report:
Based on the interview, students will prepare a report detailing a program evaluation design to evaluate the agency overall or a specific program at the agency. Specifically, students will select an evaluation approach described in Fitzpatrick, Sanders & Worthen (2011; FSW hereafter). On page 123 of FSW, the authors classify several evaluation approaches into four categories based on the identification of essential factors that guide the evaluation. Each of these approaches is then expanded in subsequent chapters. Using the definition of “program” provided on page 8 of FSW, students will provide a brief description of the program; in addition, using one of these evaluation approaches, students must explain why the approach is a “best fit” to evaluate the program in question. Lastly, students will explain how the logic model is used to guide an evaluation. Students will also complete the “Checklist for Determining When to Conduct an Evaluation” on page 272 of FSW and will include a rationale in favor of or against conducting the evaluation. Students should also include a logic model example to show how to organize an evaluation plan. Students do not have to actually conduct a program evaluation; you just need to design the evaluation and outline the process. This report should follow APA formatting guidelines and be between 10 and 15 pages (not including any references).
