What We Do

The Program Evaluation and Research Group offers program evaluation services for projects of all sizes in a variety of educational contexts.  While this makes up the bulk of our current work, we also conduct original research, and offer professional development and consultation.

Program Evaluation and Research

PERG has conducted evaluations of a broad range of programs in professional development, science and mathematics systemic reform, curriculum development, informal education, out of school time, arts partnerships, and museum studies. The range of PERG's work provides an excellent view of the organization's capacity to meet the needs of both large and small programs in many different content areas.

Professional Development

We offer a variety of workshops and courses on evaluation design and methods, such as:

• Introduction to program evaluation
• Evaluation design
• Asking the right questions
• Developing evaluation instruments
• Using evaluation findings
• Learning from documentation
• Planning a participatory evaluation

Consultation

PERG also offers consultation to support organizations’ internal evaluation and program planning. Possible areas of focus include:

• Developing logic models
• Using appreciative inquiry for evaluation and planning
• Designing embedded evaluation processes
• Assessment system design
• Creating a culture of inquiry
