Aloha,
I am trying to establish an evaluation procedure to assess the extent to which our outreach programs accomplish our stated goals, specifically in terms of student learning.  Does anyone have any advice or recommendations about how to get a true picture of the impact our program had on students?  We are interested in both what content students learned and how their attitudes changed because of our program.  This is not intended to evaluate how well the students or teacher liked the program.  I am mainly considering some type of pre/post test that teachers conduct and return to us, but if anyone has other ideas I'd be happy to hear them.  Also, if anyone has evaluation samples they are willing to share, that would be great.
Thanks,
Nancy
