11. Evaluating Outreach

• Ideally, every workshop and outreach presentation should be evaluated.
  
• However, these evaluations can be very short:

1. Likert scale assessing overall satisfaction.

2. Likert scale assessing whether the presentation met expectations.

3. A question asking how the attendee heard of the presentation.

4. In what other presentations would s/he be interested?

5. Was this the best time of day/day of week? Would any other time be better?

6. What did s/he like most? Least-or would change?

• You may want to start with this sample Workshop Evaluation Form and then modify it for your own needs.
• If a senior staff member is doing a workshop with a trainee, there could be an evaluation of the trainee by the staff member.
  
• The outreach coordinator or designee should tabulate results, identifying which topics and what times are popular.
