"The Evolution of Responsive Education Program Evaluation at the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Biorenewable Chemicals" 26th Annual Conference of the American Evaluation Association Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Session Abstract: The Iowa State University Research Institute for Studies in Education (RISE) has managed the evaluation of the NSF Engineering Research Center for Biorenewable Chemicals (CBiRC) pre-college education programs for the center’s four project years. A longitudinal study of the CBiRC Research Experience for Teachers (RET) highlights the evolution of the overall evaluation design, where the essential feature of the approach is responsiveness to key issues or methodological problems developed throughout the maturation of this professional development program for high school teachers

Governance is both a means and an end; both how and whether a program achieves its objectives are important. GRPPs also employ a diverse array of governance models associated with the history and culture of each program along a continuum from pure shareholder models (in which membership on the governing body is restricted to financial and other contributors) to more inclusive stakeholder models (in which membership also includes non-contributors). Therefore, this paper suggests that the performance of the governing bodies and management units in their functions should be measured against certain good governance principles such as legitimacy, efficiency, accountability, responsibility, transparency and fairness

PowerPoint presentation given as part of session 811 at AEA 2011 in Anaheim. Session was titled: New Frontiers in International Development Evaluation: Key Challenges and Lessons Learned in Evaluating Online Communities of Practice. Presentation Abstract: The International Program of Development Evaluation (IPDET) is an international evaluation capacity building program, sponsored by the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank and Carleton University, which has been operating since 2001 and has had almost 3000 participants from 105 countries around the world. One of its key features is the IPDET listserv-an online community of practice of IPDET participants and instructors. In 2010, an impact evaluation of the program was conducted. Linda Morra Imas, Co-Founder and Co-Director of IPDET will present some of the issues and challenges in trying to evaluate the effects of a community of practice like IPDET's, how the evaluation addressed them, and specific findings on the effects of IPDET's community of practice
