TIG Quarterly Meeting
|
March 26th at 12pm CST

Our first TIG meeting will begin with brief updates and logistics, followed by a presentation from Dr. Jason Ravitz, founder of Evaluation by Design. Read the session description below, and we look forward to seeing you there!
From Snapshots to Systems: Building Cumulative Evidence in Educational Evaluation
Many educational evaluations rely on episodic data collection and static reporting, producing snapshots of program activity rather than cumulative evidence that supports ongoing learning and course correction. This presentation explores how evaluators can design cumulative evidence systems that integrate data collection, analysis, and visualization into continuous program improvement. Drawing on examples from K–12, higher education, and workforce initiatives, the session will illustrate how interactive dashboards and reproducible workflows—often using open-source tools such as R and Shiny—can strengthen professional judgment, reduce analytic error, and make program impact visible in real time.
