This project was designed to 1) establish criteria for conducting a culturally responsive evaluation of STEM programs and 2) to establish criteria for assessing cultural responsiveness in STEM program planning. A secondary objective was to evaluate the relationship between points 1 and 2. We recruited staff from programs conducting evaluations throughout New York. As well as evaluators nationally that identified a concern with diversity issues in evaluation through membership with American Evaluation Association topical interest groups. We employed a standard concept mapping methodology where participants were asked to generate statements about behaviors and attitudes toward diversity in evaluation and program planning. After participants sorted and rated the statements produced, we employed The Concept System software to produce statement clusters and created a taxonomy behaviors and attitudes identified across staff and evaluators. A comparison of evaluator and program staff ratings was also conducted to assess for differences between groups.
