Walking Our Talk: New Insights – Emerging A Collaborative Diagnostic Tool and Data Visualization by Sharon Twitty, Natalie Lenhart, and Paul St Roseman

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / November 28, 2023

In spring of 2018, Sharon, Natalie, and I (ARCHES Evaluation Team) began to examine the insights gained from juxtaposing the Self-Assessment Survey with the Outcome Indicators of the ARCHES Logic Model. The Self-Assessment Survey was initially created as a reflective instrument for clients to independently gauge their progress. However, the Outcome Indicators, identified through the comparative analysis, were diagnostic by nature. These indicators were intended to inform how ARCHES could tailor its support for a collaborative’s development via its Just in Time Service Model.

The Story of Systemic Racism and Playgrounds: How KABOOM! uses data to overcome playspace inequity by Isaac Castillo and Colleen Coyne

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / October 3, 2023

Hello! We are Isaac D. Castillo and Colleen Coyne, and we represent the Learning and Evaluation team at KABOOM!. And we have a question for you: What do playgrounds, data, systemic racism, maps, and evaluation all have in common? Playgrounds should serve as a sanctuary for children – an escape from everyday pressures where they can just be kids. But not every child in the United States has access to a safe and high-quality playground. At KABOOM!, we refer to these disparities in access and quality as playspace inequity. KABOOM! builds playgrounds in partnership with others across the United States to end playspace inequity, so more kids can grow up happy and healthy. But how do we measure playspace inequity? That is where data, maps, storytelling, and evaluation come in.

Government Eval TIG Week: Layering Data Placemat Sessions by Elise Garvey

Leave a Comment / Government Evaluation / December 3, 2022

Hello, I’m Elise Garvey, a senior management auditor from the King County Auditor’s Office in Seattle, Washington. I have become a huge fan of using data placemat sessions for my projects ever since learning about them at Eval 2015 and learning more from Kylie Hutchinson’s tips and tricks. Data placemats are large sheets of paper with themed snippets of raw or basic data analysis, and a data placemat session is when you review and discuss those placemats with stakeholders. This has been a really valuable tool for ensuring I’m understanding the data I’m using and getting the perspective of people closest to the data.
