AEA 2019 Panel PresentationPreparing Undergraduates to Engage with Stakeholders: Combining Culturally Responsive and Cognitive Apprenticeship Teaching to Facilitate Learning About Logic ModelingFostering interest in evaluation, particularly for underrepresentative minority (URM) students , while developing ways for them to engage in culturally, equitable, and competent evaluation practice is critical to advancing the field (Aponte‐Soto, et al., 2014). One commonly used method by evaluation professors is engaging students in a service-based project (SBP). Yet, implementing a SBP becomes challenging when students have little to no research experience nor knowledge of evaluation. A viable option for evaluation professors is integrating culturally responsive teaching (CRT) with cognitive apprentice teaching (CAT). Together, CRT and CAT help expose students to culturally relevant evaluation situations, so they may engage in transferable learning prior to executing specific SBP activities (Dennen, 2002; Gay, 2000). This panelist will discuss how they integrated CRT, CAT, and AEA’s Principles Guiding for Evaluators (AEA, 2018) to guide URM undergraduates learning and applications of logic model development in preparation of their SBP.
