There is a slide connected to this please follow all instructions This will be a two page paper Program Evaluation Content
Program evaluation is an essential, if not the largest, part of agency work. Agencies have many components, or programs and services, that they provide for their clients. For this assignment, you will design a program evaluation.
For this assignment, you have the flexibility to choose an agency or program from your current or past field placement, a job you have held, or any other organization that aligns with the requirements of the assignment. Whether you draw from your hands-on experience in a placement, reflect on a previous position, or explore a different organization, the key is to select a context that allows you to effectively address the assignment’s components.
Consider the agency or program’s relevance to the assignment’s steps, ensuring it provides a suitable backdrop for discussing program details, implementation methods, the target population, and evaluation design. This diversity of options allows you to showcase your understanding and application of course concepts in a real-world context that you find personally meaningful or professionally relevant. Feel free to choose the setting that best aligns with your experiences and interests.
Instructions
Step 1: Program, Theory/Rationale, Goals, and Major Objectives of the Program
Describe the agency or unit in which the program is housed. If the agency provides the EBP identified you can describe how that is described on the website. Or you use this organization as one that could implement a program that uses that EBP.
Introduce the agency and or program (briefly, you will be addressed further in this assignment): What is the major purpose of the program? What are the objectives of the program?; What is the empirical evidence for this program? To address this part of the assignment, incorporate references to at least 6-8 reports, scholarly articles, or other forms of secondary data in a meaningful way.
Step 2: Methods of Program Implementation
Describe the setting for the program.
What specific services does the program offer?
Describe how the program services/activities are related to the program objectives.
When, where, how often and for how long are services provided?
Who provides the service?
Step 3: Target Population of the Program
Describe the client population targeted and served by the program.
What are the eligibility requirements for the program?
If possible, describe how clients are identified, recruited, and selected for the program. Do these recruitment activities further the possibility that the target population will be reached?
Step 4: Evaluation Design
Complete a logic model. Refer to the textbook chapter in readings for information. You can use this template, any other you find on the internet, or design one yourself.
SW591_Simple_Logic_Model_Format.docx
What are your evaluation questions?
What specific evaluation design would you use to evaluate the program?
Would you use quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods and why? Describe your study’s design.
Discuss the strengths and limitations of the design in terms of its ability to answer your evaluation question(s). If you plan to evaluate the effectiveness of a program, what are the threats to internal validity?
What are the potential ethical implications of your evaluation design?
Step 5: Sample
What type of sample would be utilized and why?
How would clients (or sources of data) be recruited, contacted, and followed for the evaluation?
Do you anticipate any problems gathering the sample or with sample attrition? If so, what are possible solutions to these problems?
Step 6: Data Collection/Administration & Analysis
Describe and critique how you would: “administer” the proposed tool and/or instrument (i.e., self-administered, administered by someone other than the client/group to whom, by whom, how often, how much time in between and why, etc.); collect qualitative data (interviews, focus groups, CBPR, observations, etc.); and/or what forms of primary and secondary data you would use.
If you use quantitative methods, describe what findings you would discuss and one statistical test you would use and which data are necessary to utilize that test.
If you use qualitative data, discuss in some depth how you would analyze it.
Step 7: Conclusions
Discuss the limitations of your proposed study, and any difficulties in implementing this evaluation.
Discuss briefly how you would involve program staff in the evaluation process.
Discuss briefly potential ethical implications of your proposed evaluation.
Formatting: Your evaluations should be 2-3double-spaced pages in length, not including the title page, abstract, and reference page. Ensure that your proposal follows APA formatting guidelines and is free from grammatical errors. Ensure that your evaluations flows logically and that each section builds upon the previous ones. Use headings and subheadings to organize your content effectively. Lastly, carefully proofread your proposal to eliminate any grammatical errors or formatting issues.
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense that involves presenting someone else’s work, ideas, or words as your own. It not only compromises your own integrity but also undermines the trust and credibility of academic institutions. To maintain academic honesty and uphold the value of your education, it is imperative that you always provide proper attribution for any sources you use in your assignments. When quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing information from books, articles, websites, or any other source, remember to cite it correctly using APA citation style. This not only demonstrates your respect for the intellectual property of others but also ensures that your work is founded on a solid foundation of knowledge. Avoiding plagiarism is a fundamental aspect of your academic journey, and it’s a skill that will serve you well in your future career. If you have any doubts or questions about citing sources or avoiding plagiarism, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
In addition to submitting your evaluations here, for your instructor to view and grade, please share your evaluations with your classmates in the relevant discussion forum. You will have an opportunity to review and rate one another’s evaluations.

Students will review the standards of the NASW Code of Ethics, relevant laws and regulations,
models for ethical decision-making, ethical conduct of research, and additional codes of ethics in
order to write a three-page reflection about the intersections between cultural diversity,
oppression, and social work ethics. This reflection will describe the event or events you attended,
what you learned from the experience, and how this experience influenced or impacted your
ability to make ethical decisions professional social work. Students are encouraged to attend
workshops, meetings, or events with one another.
(Events going to:)
1. *I work at a high school with Deaf students at a mainstream school- so talk about Deaf students in a mainstream setting with an interpreter 2. Deaf church (deaf pastor, deaf audience) – “Celebrate recovery” was the message. “Celebrate recovery is a biblically balanced approach to help bring sustainable recovery and healing to our hurts. It guides us toward new healthy truths and life-giving habits as we repair our broken relationships.”
3. Phone calls including a VP/VRS- make up phone call details, just highlight the experience of how VP/VRS works 4. Event celebrating Deaf history titled “A Walk Through Deaf History: Learn about Deaf milestones and people important to American Deaf History! Each era or event will be represented by staff and volunteers in costume!”
5. Maya Cinemas: Watching the movie “the first omen” Closed Captioning device. Describe the experience using the device. “Moviegoers who are hearing impaired can see open captioning with their personal closed captioning device. The devices offer personal monitors with digital text displays that easily attach to cup holder armrests and allow the user to adjust the monitor to their preferred position. The devices are wireless and easy to use.”

You’ll want to be sure to include the agency mission and goals, the program you chose, what type of evaluation you’re proposing, who the participants will be and how they are included or recruited, how you will measure and collect your data, how you will analyze it and how you will disseminate the data and to whom. Be sure to include the strengths and limitations of the proposed evaluation, and its implication for social work practice. What would be the next steps? Are there other future evaluations that make sense? Here the link to the Agency https://bronxconnect.org/
