The Evaluating Programs stack, developed by the Regional Educational Laboratory Southeast (REL-SE)

Each micro-credential listed in the stack map below has a defined competency and a description of the proof of learning that will be used to document learner ability in that competency. Micro-credentials may be attempted at any time the learning feels competent in a skill OR the learner may work through the supporting screencasts and associated learning activities to learn or practice the skill. Just click on the PROOF OF LEARNING section in each micro-credential and complete the task(s) as described.

This stack includes three micro-credentials and three professional learning screencasts created by the Regional Education Laboratory Southeast (Florida State University, REL-SE).

Micro-credential: Create A Logic Model

Logic models can serve a critical role in understanding a program, strengthening a program’s implementation, and in developing a program evaluation plan.

Micro-credential: Explore Implementation Fidelity

Understanding whether or not a program worked or did not work also requires whether the program was implemented as planned. The fidelity with which a program is implemented is a critical component of program evaluation. This micro-credential focuses on the fidelity of implementation and the role it plays in understanding program effectiveness. 

Micro-credential: Interpret Quantitative Findings

Using evidence-based practices requires understanding how evidence is generated and being able to interpret the results presented in research articles. Doing so requires an understanding of three key concepts: the null hypothesis, statistical significance, and effect sizes.
