Evaluation
Portfolio Final Draft

Mission: Our mission is to collect and evaluate data through surveys completed by program
participants and class staff.
Why we chose these surveys: We chose to do an on-site survey so we can target the students
directly after they complete the program so the event is still fresh in their memories and we can
get the most accurate answers. These surveys will be quantitative and each of the questions will
reflect our program’s goals. This will make it easier to evaluate the answers and figure out if this
program was successful. The class-staff survey will target the individual goals given by their
groups. Having the whole class analyze how they performed in each group will give us more
honest feedback about the performance of each group instead of just analyzing their own group’s
performance. We chose to do a survey as our method of evaluation because the statistical data is
easy to read and evaluate. In addition, we chose to do a quantitative survey instead of qualitative
because we were given numbers for our answers and were able to derive an average of the
answers given.
How we will analyze the surveys: We will review the answers given on the surveys and
calculate the average for each answer. Each answer is on a number scale raging from one to five.
One is strongly disagreed with the question and five is strongly agreed with the question. The
closer each average is to five, the better. Any average that is four and above will deem that
objective a success. We will also pass along the student’s suggestions about what events they
want to see in the future to Kelley Ashe.
