Evaluation is determining the value or worth of the educational programs you deliver. Evaluation is typically based on the outcomes targeted in the educational programs. Outcomes are results. What happened to the target audience because they participated in the Extension program? How are homes, workplaces, farms and communities better because of Extension programs? These are the questions we address when we evaluate our programs. Please use these tools to gain evaluation ideas, and please contact Hannah Wright if you have specific program evaluation needs.
