Program Evaluation at OEIE

What is evaluation?

Evaluation supports your decision-making using tools that guide thoughts and actions. It helps organize plans, gather relevant information, analyze data, and provide recommendations that drive continuous improvement. Rather than adding oversight or stress, evaluation serves as a reliable partner, using meaningful data to inform decisions. With clear metrics tied to your outcomes, evaluation keeps your project on track from start to finish, documenting changes, challenges, and successes along the way.

Why hire an external evaluator?

Hiring an external evaluator gives you more than a required report—it gives you a trusted partner in learning and improvement. By working with the OEIE, you gain high-quality evaluation deliverables such as logic models, data collection tools, rigorous analyses, and clear, funder-ready reports. This ongoing feedback loop enables you to refine your program in real time.

Just as importantly, you benefit from evaluation expertise grounded in educational research, and a collaborative approach that builds your team’s capacity to use data for decision-making, storytelling, and long-term sustainability.
