MISSION

The Program Development and Evaluation Unit provides training and technical assistance that enables Cooperative Extension campus and community-based faculty and staff to plan, implement and evaluate high quality educational programs.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

Program development is an ongoing systematic process that UW-Extension professionals follow as they plan, implement and evaluate their educational programs. The process can be applied on a small scale to an individual workshop; on a larger scale to a comprehensive community initiative or to a county or statewide program of action. The scope may be different but the principles of program development remain the same.

In UW-Extension, the program development process is captured in our program development model that includes situational analysis, priority setting, program action - the logic model - and evaluation.

WHAT'S NEW

The Wisconsin Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development program has launched a new evaluation web site.  This teaching and learning site provides a wealth of materials, samples and examples from across Wisconsin to help community-based Extension educators design and implement evaluations of their youth development programs.  Check the public site out at:

New BLOG for University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension colleagues:  Connect to the “Practical Evaluation Applications and You” blog for regular entries about evaluation and sharing of examples and samples.   Leave your comments and ask questions.  Only for UWEX faculty and staff.  https://blogs.ces.uwex.edu
