Instructions for Program Evaluation Report
The Program Evaluation Report is a result of your work in your field/clinical placement this semester. It is also the deliverable provided to your placement site for sharing their professional experiences with you. By the end of the semester, you are expected to develop a letter that thanks the organization for the placement. This letter will accompany the final Program Evaluation Report. Both should be emailed to your site supervisor; copy Dr. KJ on the communication.
There are multiple structures/formats that govern the writing of program evaluation reports. Below are the sections that are typically part of a program evaluation report. Your report should have very similar sections. It might not be as thorough because of the semester time constraints, but your report should contain most of the sections below.
- Executive Summary: A brief summary of the evaluation findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
- Introduction: An overview of the evaluation context, scope, purpose, and methodology.
- Background: A summary of the policy, program, or initiative that is being assessed, including its goals, activities, and intended audience(s).
- Evaluation Questions: A list of the evaluation questions that guided the data collection and analysis.
- Methodology: A description of the data collection methods used in the evaluation, including the sampling strategy, data sources, and data analysis techniques.
- Findings: A presentation of the evaluation findings, organized according to the evaluation questions.
- Conclusions: A summary of the main evaluation findings and conclusions, including an assessment of the program or projects effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability.
- Recommendations: A list of specific recommendations for program or project improvements based on the evaluation findings and conclusions.
- Lessons Learned: A discussion of the key lessons learned from the evaluation that could be applied to similar programs or projects in the future.
- Limitations: A discussion of the limitations of the evaluation, including any or constraints encountered during the data collection and analysis.
- References: A list of references cited in the evaluation report.
- Appendices: Additional information, such as detailed data tables, graphs, or maps, that support the evaluation findings and conclusions.
The structure of the evaluation report should be clear, logical, and easy to follow, with headings and subheadings used to organize the content and facilitate navigation. In addition, the presentation of data is more engaging and understandable when you integrate visual aids like as graphs and charts.
