The Nuts and Bolts of ATE Evaluation Reporting

In this webinar, we will give practical advice about evaluation reporting in the ATE context, including report content and structure, integrating evaluation report content into annual reports to NSF, and using results. We will provide step-by-step guidance for developing an ATE evaluation report that balances the competing demands that reports be both comprehensive and concise. We’ll discuss the how-where-and-what of including evaluation results in NSF annual reports and project outcome reports. Finally we’ll address how to use evaluation results to inform project-level improvements and build the case for further funding. Participants will leave the webinar with a clear strategy for creating effective ATE evaluation reports that meet NSF accountability requirements and support project-level improvement. *This webinar was in inspired, in part, by the work of Jane Davidson, author of Evaluation Methodology Basics: The Nuts and Bolts of Sound Evaluation (Sage, 2005).
