Hi Monae,

Really appreciate you posting this. One of the things we have been
continually struggling with is how to evaluate the impact of our
programmes. With so little access to children after they visit the
museum, it's very challenging to get a sense of what is working and what
is not. I would guess that others have had a similar experience.

This is exactly the kind of seminar we need to understand what kinds of
instruments and techniques are available to us. It would be useful if
the programme also included a discussion of the theoretical
underpinnings of evaluating impact. In other words, a quick literature
review of the main schools of thought on approaching impact in informal
learning settings.

Best wishes,
Shelley

Subject: Workshop Evaluating Impacts of Non-formal Learning & Engagement
with Schools and Young People

The University of Warwick is excited to announce the next seminar in the
Evaluating Impacts of Non-Formal Learning & Public Engagement Seminar
Series. This seminar will focus on the topic of engagement with schools
and
young people.  This seminar is filling quickly and we would like to
include
you!

Previous participants in this seminar series have said:

*"[I] can't recall any part that wasn't interesting...during the course
of
the day I changed my plan about how to gather data."*
*
*
*"Everything was useful for me - one of the best workshops I have
attended
in my career!"*

Compared to other local workshops our registration fees are low because
we
want you to participate in this series!!

Summary: Evaluating impacts within the context of formal learning
programmes and other modes of engaging schools raises both unique
opportunities and challenges. This seminar will examine the best ways of
gathering both routine more robust evaluation data to inform practice
and
evidence impact.

*Evaluating Impacts on School Pupils and Teachers (Morning)*



Evaluating impacts within the context of formal learning programmes and
other modes of engaging schools raises both unique opportunities and
challenges.

This seminar will examine the best ways of gathering both routine more
robust evaluation data to inform practice and evidence impact.

New ideas and approaches will be discussed, along with a critical
consideration of longstanding methods of evaluation such as teacher
feedback forms.



**

*Evaluation Research with Young People: Adolescents and Impact
(Afternoon)*

**

Evaluation research with adolescents is a surprisingly under-developed
aspect of public engagement and non-formal learning overall.

This seminar addresses key issues and case examples of evaluation
research
with this age group.

The seminar will also discuss models of evaluation and research that can
be
used by engagement and non-formal learning practitioners to enhance
practice and outcomes.



Issues to be addressed include:

* How can you develop systems to measure the long-term impact of
informal
learning and public engagement interventions aimed at influencing
adolescents' attitudes and future career choices?

* To what extent are particular evaluation methods well-suited to this
age
group?
