Evaluating Professional Development Programs and Arts Integration Progams

RealVisions consultants begin by helping you articulate a clear logic model for your project.  This program logic model provides

  • Guidelines for analyzing interventions,
  • A scheme for understanding the significance of research findings,
  • A foundation for formulating research questions,
  • An interpretative framework for comprehending results, and
  • An insightful lens for looking at successes and challenges.

After formulating an extensive logic model, RealVisions consultants proceed to develop, implement and analyze data sources.  At the conclusion of the evaluation period, RealVisions issues a final report in which your project is described and its impact explained according to all of the elements in the program logic model.  In addition, RealVisions consultants can prepare recommendations for program adjustment and create a PowerPoint presentation to effectively communicate a summary of the evaluation to program stakeholders.

Clients may choose to embed RealVisions’ evaluation into the fabric of the program implementation wherein RealVisions consultants take an active role in refining and redirecting program activities based on the results of data analysis and periodic process evaluations.   On the other hand, clients may desire to keep consultants separate from the actual program implementation while using RealVisions final evaluation to retool the continued course of their program.
