[LTER-education] evaluation methodologies

[Katie Gavenus (Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies)]

Hi,

I have been tasked with taking the lead on improving our (not-so-robust)
evaluation plans for education and outreach at the NGA LTER and BLE LTER.

HELP!

This is a stretch for my expertise.  And it feels tough to do evaluation
well given that we work with small group sizes at the BLE and NGA (other
than the virtual materials available through the NGA).
It seems like "pooling" K12 students across a few similar sites for program
evaluation purposes might be one way to address this?  Would any of the
coastal/marine sites or other Alaska sites be interested in chatting about
that?
Or does anyone have other suggestions for evaluation methods that really
worked/work for their schoolyard ecology programs?

I'd love any suggestions via e-mail, or we could set up a meeting to chat
if people are interested.

Thanks in advance,
Katie
