Eval11 Session 420: “Rough Road” Evaluation: The Benefits and Consequences of Supporting the Primacy of Stakeholders 

10-28-2011 14:01

Beyond concerns of evaluating a professional development program in science, the presenters share the internal evaluation process that evolved in their practice where the primacy of stakeholders' interests was given foremost importance. The practice centered on day-to-day reflections and feedback about stakeholders' situations and what they needed as the professional development program implementation progressed. This project was part of a state-wide program evaluation, which led to negotiations of tensions involving different expectations of the state external evaluators. Priorities and timelines in the implementation of specific evaluation activities were not in sync with the state-wide intent; thus, the 'rough road' evaluation.
