Designed by WebWeavers Technology Group		Evaluation Plan This plan is best written while you define the goals and objectives of your project. Once you have established the purpose of your project which includes your goals and objectives, you must decide how you will evaluate whether the students have met those goals and objectives. Determining whether the students have improved or gained new skills requires an understanding of where the students began before this project. Remember, assessment is the process of finding out what the students know and evaluation is the tool to measure the outcomes. So, as you write your project description, think about how your students will prove they met those goals and objectives: Where did they begin? What did this project accomplish academically, socially, or personally with the students? How will you test these accomplishments? How will these results help the community? You may include the detailed evaluation tools you plan to use for this project or just general descriptions of how each goal and objective will be evaluated. The Evaluation Plan can be a quantitative or qualitative analysis of both the product of the project and the process of the project. The Evaluation Plan is limited to 250 words. Please keep this in mind while you write this section. Good Example Links: Salmon Resources and Selawik Sample These are examples of funded mini-grant projects. The RFP requirements have changed since these projects were funded, so there are differences between the past and current RFP applications.
