Clt Resp Equit Evaluation

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

This course prepares students to become thoughtful practitioners who understand the impact of their own cultural identity on program design and evaluation. In addition, it gives students the opportunity to learn and apply a step-by-step approach on how to design and evaluate programs using approaches that are culturally responsive and equitable. More specifically, the course provides a systematic process to integrate cultural responsiveness and equity into all phases of program design and evaluation, namely 1) developing the program’s theory of change, 2) formulating and prioritizing evaluation questions, and 3) answering evaluation questions, which includes selecting the appropriate methodology, as well as methods for data collection, analysis, and dissemination. The course will connect theory to practice through practical assignments such as case studies and scenario-based exercises.
