RTPE Annual PD Event: Friday, September 11 — Deliberately Enacting Culturally Responsive and Equitable Evaluation: A Guide to Practical Tools & Processes (Virtual Gathering)

July 23, 2020 by Madison Garcia Leave a Comment

The field of evaluation is being challenged to utilize a process that considers who is being evaluated and who is conducting the evaluation. Within this, increasing attention has been paid to how race and culture influence evaluation processes. This represents an important step forward in perspective and priority, yet evaluators often lack concrete mechanisms to ensure feasibility and sustainable integration into their work. This workshop addresses this gap by focusing on frameworks and tools recently developed by MPHI. These enable the deliberate development of an evaluation process that takes race, culture, equity, and community context into consideration.

Date/Time: September 11, 9:15 am – 12:30 pm (EST)
Location: Virtual Gathering, register at https://tinyurl.com/RTPE-PD-2020

Learning Objectives: As a result of this workshop, you will…

  • Learn key elements of a framework that can improve the quality of evaluation in diverse settings, using a culturally responsive and racial equity lens.
  • Gain experience applying culturally responsive and racial equity lenses to a specific RFP and project design.
  • Brainstorm specific next steps to apply in your evaluation practice.

Cost:

In recognition of the difficult economic times for many, we are aiming to keep registration fees particularly low this year.
