This workshop series blends program evaluation with statistics and graphic design, so you’re not only collecting meaningful data but also reporting it in a meaningful way. Expensive tools to create graphics and reports exist; but in this three-part series we will take advantage of the most accessible software to learn best practices in data collection and reporting. Join us for this HANDS ON series that gets you in the classroom with your own computer workstation.

Part I: Collecting Meaningful Data for your Organization – Program evaluation can provide accountability for your organization, but its ultimate goal should be continuous improvement of service to your clients. In this workshop, we will walk through how to determine your information needs, how to match information needs to data collection methods, and what metrics are most appropriate for your reporting needs.
Part II: Displaying your Data to Tell a Story – As evaluators, data collection proves unnecessary if we are unable to simply and effectively communicate our results. In this workshop, you will learn how to brand your organization with each graphic, choose the most appropriate charts based on your data, and polish your graphics so your results shine. You will leave with a custom style guide, chart templates, and best practices for creating beautiful visualizations long after the workshop ends.
Part III: Writing Reports your Audience Actually Wants to Read – Are your annual reports written and designed within your organization? Could they use a refresh, but you don’t have the budget to hire a graphic designer? We are not all design experts, but there are a few principles that everyone, from CEO to students, should know. This workshop continues the conversation around effectively communicating your results, while proving you don’t have to hire a designer to create beautiful work.  Your annual reports should be an exhibition of the great work you’ve done; so join us in learning how to design a compelling report that everyone will want to read.
