Evaluation 101, November 16, 2009, 9am -12pm
Presenters: Saul Rockman and Jennifer Borland
Introduction to the range of issues and approaches to formative and summative evaluation. The workshop is based on the content of an existing, freely-available and accessible website focused on evaluation in informal settings. Participants explore components of evaluation strategies and review labs on the site that are available for post-workshop reference.

Logic Model Workshop, November 16, 2009, 1-4pm
Presenter: Joe E. Heimlich
This workshop introduces techniques useful in facilitating diverse stakeholder groups through the development of a logic model. Using a thought-provoking, practical, and fun format, the workshop leader facilitates participation in a Mock Logic Development Stakeholder Meeting. Interspersed “sidebar discussions” allow reflection on the group process. Workshop content includes introduction of relevant theory, research findings, and lessons learned from experience. Knowledge about facilitating stakeholder groups is enhanced by exploration of concepts like granulation, flow, linking, clustering, forks in the road, identifying audiences, and “hot spots.”
