Workshop: Evaluation of educational research and development projects: Pre-conference workshop

With emphasis on project outcomes and impact, project evaluation is increasingly becoming an integral part of a NSF project. Lack of an evaluation plan in a proposal for an education project may be viewed by many NSF reviewers as a weakness. The purpose of this workshop is to give the participants enough background information so that they can work with an external evaluator to develop and implement an evaluation plan for an education research and development project, particularly NSF project.
