Outcomes

Indicators Drive Data Collection

The next task is to develop data collection tools and to collect data based on the indicators Observations Surveys Focus Groups Relevant Technical and Cost Information

MassCUE Evaluators learn how to create and use these data collection tools

The collected data is analyzed against the indicators…

…resulting in evaluation findings. Findings are the “answer” to your basic question about

value. This answer is enriched by the context provided by the

indicators. Recommendations usually follow the findings.

How can you improve performance to come closer to meeting the vision/claim?
