·
Recall the program that you proposed in Week 4. If needed,
review your previous work related to the program, client needs, and the logic
model. Process evaluation considers the inputs, including resources and
activities, recorded in the logic model and how they have been applied.
·
Suppose your program proposal was approved, and the program was
implemented at your agency, practice, or community setting. You must now
develop a plan to evaluate the process of implementation. In other words, you must
determine if the program is working as it was originally intended.
·
Provide a summary of the program and the needs of the target
population.
·
Explain why a process evaluation would be important for the
program.
·
State the type of process evaluation and stage of implementation
(when in the program it will occur) and why.
·
Determine who will conduct the process evaluation (internal or
external evaluator).
·
Include a broad question to be answered by the process
evaluation (overarching question).
·
Identify specific questions to be answered by the process
evaluation (subquestions).
·
Describe a plan for gathering and analyzing the information.
·
Describe a plan for ongoing evaluations (how often, etc.).
