As evaluators, we know that learning from evaluation occurs when the process is rooted in partnership and is accommodating to different learning styles. That’s why Michael Quinn Patton (Founder and CEO of Utilization-Focused Evaluation) and I collaborated to share key findings from Michael’s recently published book, Facilitating Evaluation, in a creative and engaging way. In his book, Michael outlines five principles for facilitating evaluation:
- Be guided by the personal factor
- Engage through options
- Observe, interpret, adapt
- Embed evaluative thinking throughout
- Facilitate to the leading edge
- For auditory learners, tune into this MQPodcast which includes a conversation between Michael and me about Michael’s reflections on the book.
- For tactile learners, take a look at some of the experiential learning techniques Michael describes in his book (some of which are included in the visuals below).
- For visual learners, take a look at the visuals I created that detail the five principles of facilitating evaluation that Michael outlines in his book below:
