Evaluation Tools
Evaluation is determining the value or worth of the educational programs you deliver. Evaluation is typically based on the outcomes targeted in the educational programs. Outcomes are results. What happened to the target audience because they participated in the Extension program? How are homes, workplaces, farms and communities better because of Extension programs? These are the questions we address when we evaluate our programs. Please use these tools to gain evaluation ideas, and please contact Joseph Donaldson (jldonaldson@tennessee.edu) if you have specific program evaluation needs.

Evaluation Tools In Development
The following questionnaires are currently in development. These questionnaires are not part of the Program Evaluation Network (PEN) because they are not yet finalized. During 2009 and 2010, these questionnaires may be used to evaluate statewide Extension programs. The specific questions correspond with SUPER statewide outcomes.

Program Planning Tools Thoughtful planning has no substitute. It is paramount to effective Extension education. Planning ensures that you are conducting the programs that will address the most pressing needs of people that can be addressed through education, in your county or area served. It allows you to secure the curricula and resources to conduct the program. Effective planning will involve people, like volunteers, Advisory Councils, donors and other stakeholders, in decisions and programs. This is essential to an engaged and educated populous in a democratic society. Please use these tools to gain planning ideas, and please contact Joseph Donaldson (jldonaldson@tennessee.edu) if you have specific planning needs. Annual Plan Checklist (.doc) (.pdf) (.html)

Overall Aims of Extension Work
Sample Size
The UT Extension Program Evaluation Network includes a sampling guideline that if 100 or fewer people are served in a program, it is best to survey all 100. If more than 100 are served, then a random sample of 20% may be drawn with the results generalized to the entire population served. For research purposes, the following article may be helpful:
