Evaluation is important for helping you to understand what is and isn’t working with your teaching and learning project or initiative. Ongoing and iterative evaluation will help you to improve project design and implementation, make informed decisions, reach your intended goals and identify ways to sustain your work.

- Develop sound evaluation plans around your specific goals
- Identify the best method(s) to collect evidence of impact
- Design and/or review survey, focus group and/or interview questions
