CYCLE OF
CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENT
11. Five Evaluation Steps
1. Logic Model: Identify the critical elements of the
workforce development program.
2. Evaluation Questions: Ask important questions about
your workforce development program.
3. Data Sources: Identify what data are available to help
answer your questions and determine the additional data
needed.
4. Data Analysis: Collect, analyze, and interpret data to
answer your questions.
5. Decisions: What changes to your workforce development
program should you make based on your result.
Repeat steps 1-5
11
12. Communicate & Collaborate
• Include key people in the
evaluation planning process:
• Especially the primary users of
the results.
• This is a great opportunity to
build a shared understanding
and buy-in for your project.
• Communicate regularly that
this is on-going process of
improvement – “This is not a
gotcha evaluation.”
13. Keep it Simple and Focused
• An evaluation doesn’t
have to be big! Match
the number of
evaluation questions in
your plan to your
resources.
• Focus on efficient,
effective data
collection strategies.
A basic chart is a great way to
organize your own thinking and
to share easily the plan with
others.

16. ACTIVITY
Write answers to questions 1-3, answering them in that order, on post-
its. You will likely have multiple answers - write one idea per post-it.
1. Ultimately, what good is your program going to do (for students,
employers, etc.)?
2. If you are successful implementing grant activities, what will your
program accomplish this year?
3. What are the major activities of your program? (How are you
going to spend your time, money, and other resources?)
Arrange your post-its on a piece(s) of paper from left to right, from
major activities (3), to immediate results (2), to the ultimate good the
program is going to do (1).

17. What is a logic model?
A logic model is a
graphic representation
of the relationships
among the key
elements of a project:
• inputs,
• strategies,
• objectives,
• long-term goals.
A logic model …
• Helps to articulate the key
elements of the project.
• Enables evaluation efficiency
and effectiveness.
• Promotes stakeholder buy-in
by helping clarify how the
project works.
• Provides a great opportunity
to involve stakeholders in
planning.
They are living documents – they can change over time!

model for your grant. (Use
PPT, Word, Inspiration, …)
2. After drafting your logic model, reflect on your
PMPs - are there changes you want to make?
3. (You will get another 20 minutes to reflect on your PMPs in the afternoon.)
25. Lunch!
12:00 – 12:30pm
Pack up your tables a little, grab
lunch, and find a new table to sit at
with a conversation topic you’re
interested in (look for table tents).
THIS AFTERNOON: Asking Good Questions; Balanced
Scorecard; Community College System Data Initiative.
27. Formative Evaluation Steps

28. ACTIVITY
What do you think of when you think of
the term “evaluation question”?
Look at your logic model. Jot down 1 or
2 examples of what you think could be
evaluation questions for your program.
29. Developing Evaluation Questions
• Evaluation questions provide the direction and
foundation for the entire evaluation.
• The process for identifying the questions to be answered
by the evaluation is critical.
EVALUATION QUESTIONS
Data Collection
Data Analysis
Results
30. Developing Evaluation Questions
Why do we need to ask good questions?
• To determine what is really important, and to whom
• Considering “to whom” will help you when you need to
decide what kind of data you want to collect to answer the
particular question.
• To focus data collection efforts
• What do we need to find out?
• How will we collect that information?
31. Developing Evaluation Questions
Every evaluation question can’t be answered - finding out the
answers costs time, money and people. Pick the most important
questions that provide the most valuable information to users.
32. Keep it Simple and Focused
• An evaluation doesn’t
have to be big! Match
the number of
evaluation questions in
your plan to your
resources.
• This will help you focus
on efficient, effective
data collection
strategies.

33. Developing Evaluation Questions
The main types of evaluation questions are:
1. Questions about STRATEGIES: these questions ask
about how well the strategies were implemented.
2. Questions about OBJECTIVES: these questions ask
about impacts.
Logic models are great guides
for developing evaluation questions.
34. Developing Evaluation Questions
Quick tips for writing good questions:
1. Try to avoid simple “yes or no” questions
2. Consider QUANTITY questions, e.g:
– “How many”
– “How much”
– “How often”
3. Consider QUALITY questions, e.g.:
– “How well”
– “How effectively”
– “In what ways”
4. Be able to be tuned-in to unexpected results.
35. Developing Evaluation Questions
IMPLEMENTATION/STRATEGY
questions:
- How many hours of sleep am I getting
each week? (quantity)
- How soundly am I sleeping? (quality)
IMPACT/OBJECTIVE questions:
- How much weight have I lost?
(quantity)
- How has my stress level changed?
(quality)
36. ACTIVITY
Brainstorm a list of evaluation questions, and write them down.
1. Brainstorm implementation questions about the program’
strategies
For example:
THE STRATEGY IS: Teachers attend 4 quarterly sessions on science kits.
A QUANTITY QUESTION: How many faculty/staff attended the sessions?
A QUALITY QUESTION: How did the participants rate the quality of the sessions?
2. Brainstorm impact questions to evaluate how well the
outcomes are being met.
Crosswalk your list of evaluation questions with your PMP. Do
the activities and outcome measures in your PMP capture all of
your evaluation questions and the data you would use to answer
them? Fill in any gaps.
38. What is the Balanced Scorecard?
• A 4-quadrant framework that provides a comprehensive
picture of performance
• Originally designed for business and industry, now regularly
adapted to different sectors
– Original four quadrants are financial, customer, internal
processes, learning and growth
• Adapted to the GLF Essential Skills project, the quadrants are
partnerships, workforce education, internal
processes, learning and growth
• GLF evaluation objective: Aggregate reporting of four
quadrants

Data Initiative Overview
The Data Initiative includes the
review, assessment and revision of our
current data collection and reporting
processes
that results in a robust data system which
provides accurate and accessible information
fostering a culture of data-driven decision
making which addresses research questions
and informs policies. 44
45. Hope Opportunity Jobs
Data Initiative Motivation
• Concerns over data quality at the college and state level
• Increasing demands for data from federal, state, and grant-providing
agencies/organizations
• Expectations of collaboration between state agencies to share data
• The disconnect between data access and decision makers at the
college and state level
• Increasing demands on colleges from accreditation bodies to practice
and exhibit informed decision-making
• Current reporting tools do not adequately supporting the increasing
research and reporting demands
• The need to ensure policies are based on sound data
45
46. Hope Opportunity Jobs
Data Initiative Objectives
• Expand the individual and collective inquisitiveness of stakeholders
within the NC Community College System to ask research questions
that inform decisions and policies.
• Develop data definitions based on research needs and reporting
requirements.
• Ensure data quality and consistency through appropriate and
uniform entering and collecting of information across the System so
data extracted are valid and reliable.
• Incorporate a data review process that ensures accountability
through the validation of submitted data.

47. Hope Opportunity Jobs
Data Initiative Objectives
• Develop focused topic-based data marts that will serve a wide
variety of analytical research needs including, but not limited
to, strategic initiatives, grants, and business and student centric
needs.
• Expand information accessibility by making all data users aware of
the availability of predefined reports, web-based
dashboards, statistical software, and training.
• Enhance advanced analytical capabilities to empower researchers
focusing on specific topics and initiatives.
• Utilize research findings and reports to educate policy makers on
the extent to which various factors impact outcomes, including
student enrollment, student learning, student completion, faculty

How the Essential Skills Grant fits in with the
Culture of Curiosity
• Within this grant you are asking questions about
how the innovation at your college(s) is impacting
student success and employment outcomes.
These questions are building your culture of
curiosity.
• From your questions, you are identifying the data
that will be collected to answer the questions.
• For analysis throughout and at the end of the
grant, all data must be collected with clear
definitions from the beginning and carried
throughout.

The Data Initiative is one of our system initiatives. We have approximately 200 people across the state involved in the initiative. This Data initiative will review, assess, and revise current data collections and reporting processes. The end result will be a data system that has accurate and accessible information for all 58 colleges that will foster the culture of data driven decision making to address questions and inform policy.
Concerned about data qualityDemands for dataNeed to have decision makers having access to dataImprove reporting toolsHave sound data to base policies on
Your focus today will be directly related to the Culture of Curiosity and strategic initiatives. However, this will effect your data entry for the data quality, consistency, and accountability. Data that are already collected in Colleague and sent up in the flat file will be extracted and provided to the FI for quantitative analyses. Kristen will be working with the evaluation team throughout the grant regarding data being provided.
