Participatory Evaluation for Researchers — Super Team Guide | Issue 6 of 12
Who's This For
You convene partners. Maybe it is an annual meeting of a multi-institutional collaboration, a kick-off gathering for a new grant, or a network-wide convening where universities, community colleges, community organizations, and tribal education offices share a room for two days.
You want to understand how the network actually works — who is connected, who is isolated, where the energy is flowing and where it is not. But the tools you have are surveys and interviews, and the people in the room are tired of both.
This issue is for you if you have ever wanted to see your partnership network rather than just hear people describe it. You are about to discover that handing people yarn and index cards produces evaluation data that no survey instrument could generate.
