PROGRAM EVALUATOR • WORKSHOP ORGANIZER & TRAINER
Oregon Community College Association
Salem, Oregon
October 2019
Participants at the “Focus groups and program evaluation workshop represented 17 Oregon Community Colleges from around the state. Training services involved a combination of presentations, large and small-group dialogue and hands-on exercises through which participants explored when focus groups are appropriate, how to design studies that are appropriate for their goals, how to develop interview guides, potential recruiting and moderating issues, as well as how to analyze and write up the results from focus group projects. The over-arching workshop goal was to ground participants in solid focus group basics so they felt prepared to go back to their home campuses and conduct focus groups as part of the evaluation of each school’s response to Oregon House Bill 2864’s mandate that each public higher education institution must establish a process for developing and providing oversight for the implementation of cultural competency standards for their school and employees. |
