Assignment: Developing A Program Evaluation

To ensure the success of a program evaluation, a social worker must generate a specific detailed plan. That plan should describe the goal of the evaluation, the information needed, and the methods and analysis to be used. In addition, the plan should identify and address the concerns of stakeholders. A social worker should present information about the plan in a manner that the stakeholders can understand. This will help the social worker receive the support necessary for a successful evaluation.

 

To prepare for this Assignment, identify a program evaluation you would like to conduct for a program with which you are familiar. Consider the details of the evaluation, including the purpose, specific questions to address, and type of information to collect. Then, consider the stakeholders that would be involved in approving that evaluation. Review the resources for samples of program evaluations.

 Archival Assignment

 

Access and select at least two articles from newspaper(s) or magazine(s) in the post-Tambora time period.

 

Assess the newspaper(s) or magazine(s) as well as you can:  place of publication, publisher, audience, circulation statistics, and perhaps even political leanings.  What else does the periodical cover?  What else shows up on the page?

 

Assessment: LENGTH IN TARGET RANGE? (1000-1200 words) 

Are the target articles archival?  Have you accessed periodicals from after Tambora in the US or Europe?

 

Do the archival articles discuss the volcano or the weather and climate?

 

Does this report assess the periodical (publisher, audience, circulation, place of publication)?

 

Have you given a sense of what else the periodical covers?

 

Is a Works Cited page included?  

 

—-

Describe and summarize the article(s) you’ve chosen.  What strikes you as being newsworthy?

do so would be like assessing the entire issue of Sports Illustrated rather than just the article Using strategies and tips gleaned from our exploration of Boston Public Library databases, access TWO NEWSPAPER ARTICLES published in the US or Europe between the summer of 1815 and the spring of 1819 that discuss either a volcanic eruption or the unusual weather and its effects.  You may choose two articles from a single newspaper or two articles from different newspapers.  The subject matter of your chosen articles should be relevant to our topic and somehow related to each other.

 

Equally important, assess the newspaper(s) as well as you can:  place of publication, publisher, audience, circulation statistics, and perhaps even political leanings—whatever you can find out.  What else does the periodical cover?  What else shows up on the page that includes your chosen article?  In other words, look beyond your targeted articles to get a sense of what reading the newspaper(s) was like.  To about what Joe Montana is up to these days.

Introduction

 

Painting of Ophelia lying on the ground.

 

Ophelia

 

By John William Waterhouse, 1889

 

It’s easy to play the role of Ophelia and find your answers “whar [you] gits [your] corn pone.”1 It takes time, effort, patience, and a willingness to trust your opinions, live with uncertainty, and be willing to think independently of your peers. Often we think the concepts of “giving the professor (or whomever) what he or she wants” and independent thinking are mutually exclusive. But are they?

 

As you work your way through this course it is important you remember that our goals for you include the ability to think for yourself, neither as an Ophelia or Polonius, but as a person who carefully and fairly judges the evidence and makes sound choices.
