Learning & Evaluation

Through the collaborative process, the program team and the evaluation team have arrived at a shared understanding of how different program activities are expected to result in participants' increased knowledge, skills, and confidence, as well as their actions in the community as leaders.

Learning Champions

Reach Out's Learning and Evaluation department recently launched Learning Champions — an interdepartmental staff program to improve understanding of data and make data-based learning a part of each team's work.

Learning Champions have learned about data collection and metrics, as a sequence to developing useful and answerable learning questions. They have also engaged in discussions and activities to critically think about different ways to gather or use existing data to answer learning questions.

Teams in the Community Healthy, Equity, and Wellness department have developed or revised program logic models and started the evaluation planning process.
