Evaluation Materials:
Our goal is to work together on the Quarterly Cross-Site Evaluation during March and have the feedback presented to the Regional Leadership Team mtg. on May 5.    Please let Mary or Nikki know if you'd like to schedule a time for a phone call and "walk through" this data collection when you are ready to complete it for your county or work group.  

Here is the link to the Quarterly Data Collection site.  There are a few things you need to know as you prepare to fill in the requested information:
1.    Only one person per work group or county team should complete the form.
2.    You should be able to enter the data, and come back to it later (even after you have "completed" the survey).
3.    Regarding partners: please use the printed spreadsheets as baseline data.  All of the people listed on those pages are already included in the data, and do not need to be listed again.
4.    Please email Mary Emery or  Nikki  if:

  • there are people on the list who should be removed
  • you have more than 2 partners to add under any single category (Core, Ongoing, Strategic, Targeted Allies, etc.)
  • you have any questions.
 
The PRINTABLE VERSION of the Quarterly Evaluation has been divided into 3 parts to make it easier to print the sections you are most interested in. 
Part 1.  New Partners and Resources
Part 2.  Policy and System Change Stories (Youth Engagement and Increasing  New Producers.)
Part 3.  Policy Targets
