Evaluations help us know how to do it better next time—what worked and what didn’t work well, and why. And, they provide feedback about our success as a facilitator. Here are three methods for evaluating your program:

• Create a numerical assessment. Ask participants to rank, by specified numbers, the activities and program pieces of the workshop.
• Create an evaluation form with incomplete sentences. Ask participants to complete the sentences to express their opinions and feelings about the workshop experience.
• Create a form which offers open-ended questions and space for participants to write their answers.

You may use one or a combination of these alternatives.
