Eval11 Session 940: The Roadmap to Effectiveness: From Idea Inception to Boxing It  

07-18-2011 11:53

To give voice to multiple stakeholders and explain how to use evaluation to assist programs in moving from an idea to a formal boxed program that can be implemented at a large scale with high fidelity, Chauveron & Thompkins (2010) created a tool called the Roadmap to Effectiveness. The Roadmap creates a strategic space for addressing the process, politics, and challenges of evaluating and developing multiple programs with myriad needs. It identifies seven stages of program development: (1) Exploratory-- program idea and creation phase, (2) Laboratory--experimentation with idea formulation and program intention, (3) Development--development of program model and components, (4) Replication--testing by developer, and then by non-developers, (5) Maintaining Excellence--model finalization and transition to Scale-Up, (6) Scale-Up--program effectiveness assessed at scale, and (7) Boxing It--develop model into product able to be administered by off-site purchasers, and lays out an evaluation goal for each stage. Each stage has specific benchmarks, criteria, and quantitative and qualitative development tools and methods, exposing practitioners to a range of options to provide feedback valuable to different stakeholders.
