[kids-lib] Observation tools--draft for you to try

[Katie Anderson]

Hi! I just sent the following email and attached documents to Ready to Read Key Contacts and thought many of you might be interested too. Even if you aren't working on a Ready to Read grant-funded projects, these tools may help you evaluate other activities. I welcome your suggestions for improvements as well.

Thanks,
Katie

Subject: Observation tools--draft for you to try out this year

Hi Ready to Read Grantees,

For those of you doing observations to evaluate your 2015 Ready to Read Grant, attached is the first draft observation tools for you to try out. Please email suggestions for improvements to me at anytime.

Remember, I'm creating an evaluation toolkit for the 2016 Reading for Success/Ready to Read Grant. It will include observation tools, survey tools, and interview tools. The first and second draft of the survey tools have already been sent out for you to try. I hope to send you the first draft of the interview tools next month. My goal is to have the evaluation toolkit finalized and online by January 1, 2016 when you start your next grant-funded projects.

Please note that the evaluation toolkit includes tips, templates, and ideas for you to use to create your own evaluation. While some of the templates from the survey tools can be printed and used exactly as they are, in most cases you will need to edit the templates so they evaluate the specific changes you want to see children and families make as a result of participating in your grant-funded activities.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Katie

PS: I will send this out on the kids-lib and OYAN listservs as well.
