It is incumbent upon ethical social workers to demonstrate that their programs are implemented as intended and that they are run both effectively and efficiently. There is an element of evaluation built into all social work agencies and practices, whether clinically or community focused. Learn introductory program evaluation techniques that build upon the research principles learned in previous research classes. Review different approaches to program evaluation, develop skills for applying research principles and techniques to monitor and evaluate programs with diverse populations and settings, and identify approaches to reporting findings back to stakeholder groups.
Three hours per week.
