Developing Strong Evaluations for ATE Projects

These presentation slides, provided by EvaluATE: Evaluation Resource Center for Advanced Technological Education, are from a two-part webinar workshop that was intended for those preparing ATE proposals and seeking assistance in integrating evaluation into project work. This workshop focused on the integral role evaluation plays in proposal preparation, funding decisions, and conducting effective projects and centers. The following topics are addressed: key elements of proposals, major reasons that proposals fail to be funded, how to address key issues of intellectual merit and broad impact, using SMART techniques to write strong goals and objectives, and using evaluation perspectives and tools to increase proposal and project quality and effectiveness.
