Regarding outcomes.....a little of both

 

I run and coordinate an 8 week family literacy program...it is a 2 hour / 2 times per week.....it is funded by our local welfare agency and parents who are recruited to come to the class with their children (infants - age 6) must complete evaluations for us at mid point and final.  WE also have the child care workers who work with the children for the first hour (as the second hour they are with us and their parents) do an evaluation, host site, caseworkers who sometimes refer the parents to us....we target parents who have low literacy skills - we recruit parents by putting a flyer in their monthly cheque....this helps us to target parents from low SES who often have low literacy skills (but not always).  So we gather a lot of evaluation data but it is not specifically outcome-based.

 

We are now looking at a different way to evaluate more of an outcomes-based evaluation.  I will be learning more about it in the weeks to come.  If you  want more information, just let me know.

Subject: [FamilyLiteracy 537] Evaluating Outcomes

 

The following two requests were submitted by Sara Mansbach in my pre-Christmas solicitation of ideas and suggestions for discussions on the Family Literacy Discussion List. Since they both had to do with evaluation, I am posting them together. However, in your response please indicate which item you are responding to as your suggestions may not be the same for both.

 

Evaluation of outcomes is an important part of any literacy program and certainly one that we need to continue building and strengthening in adult education. I am sure not only Sara, but the entire List would be glad to here your thoughts on these two requests.

 

Again, on behalf of Sara Mansbach, I submit the following for your consideration.

 

I would be interested in learning more about:

1.	Evaluating the outcomes of less intense family literacy programs where parents may be seen from one month to the next for only ½  an hour at a time, again with newborns to 4 year old children who are not very verbal and where formal evaluation measures can not be employed. 

 

2.	Evaluating the impact of short term intense workshops on teen mothers over a 6 weeks period of time
