1 Evaluation Plan: A Prescription for Healthcare Training in Tennessee (RX TN) Evaluation Methodology: Comparison Group (Non-Experimental) Date of Interim Report: 11/30/14 Date of Final Report: 9/30/16 PURPOSE. The purpose of this evaluation is to collect, analyze, and interpret data pertaining to RX TN that will (a) lead to continuous program improvement and (b) determine the extent to which the various program components are associated with positive outcomes and impacts in the lives of program participants. Due to the multi-year nature of this project, the evaluation will begin with an implementation evaluation to ensure that all program activities are being conducted as planned. While the implementation evaluation will be ongoing, the evaluation focus will also include participant outcomes and impacts later in the project cycle. To promote engagement in evaluation activities throughout the grant period, the primary stakeholders of this project have been identified prior to program implementation. The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), the grantor of this project, is the primary stakeholder who seeks to fund programs that lead to education and employment outcome improvements. Students receiving student services provided by this grant, and/or those who enroll in one of the grantfunded career programs funded with this project, also have a large stake in program implementation and outcomes. Thus, these students are a crucial source of data during both the implementation stage and the outcomes stage of evaluation. Each of the career training fields will have a designated curriculum specialist who also has a vested interest in evaluation findings. The program director, assistant director, and all other staff funded with this grant, as well as community partners including employers, are other identified stakeholders of this project. Members of stakeholder groups have already contributed to the evaluation planning process, and they are expected to show continued involvement throughout the evaluation in an interactive 1
2 process with the third-party evaluator. This will ensure that the most pertinent evaluation questions are being addressed; appropriate and feasible methods for data collection are developed and used; and evaluation results are disseminated and utilized as appropriate. EVALUATION QUESTIONS. The evaluation questions to be addressed by this evaluation were created by working collaboratively with grant team leaders to ensure a shared understanding of the theory of change underlying the program and to align evaluation processes with the informational needs of these stakeholders. Engaging this subset of stakeholders (i.e., the intended users of the evaluation findings) early on in the process helps to promote ownership of the evaluation process, as well as eventual use of evaluation results. Information regarding program implementation, as well as program outcomes, will enable program stakeholders to improve program processes as well as evaluate whether program activities are leading to intended outcomes. The purpose of the implementation evaluation is to determine the extent to which the various project inputs/activities/outputs are occurring as intended by the program creators. This will allow project staff to (a) make adjustments when program activities are not occurring as planned, and (b) determine whether program outcomes and impacts may be attributed to these planned activities. Thus, a 3 rd party evaluator will be involved early in the planning stage to provide real-time feedback to program staff, and a significant amount of evaluation resources will be expended to answer the planning and implementation evaluation questions presented in the top portion of Table 1. By thoroughly addressing implementation, specific recommendations can be made to the USDOL and other institutions as future programs are developed and funded. The central purpose of the evaluation of program outcomes and impacts is to determine the extent to which the program accomplished its goals. By utilizing matched comparison groups 2
3 and statistically controlling for differences between the participant and comparison groups (e.g., by using Analysis of Covariance), results from the evaluation can be used to estimate the value added by the program. In other words, the design used for this evaluation will enable measurement of the impact of various program components on its participants by contrasting participant outcomes and impacts with those of non-participants (see the bottom portion of Table 1 for outcomes/impacts evaluation questions). METHODS. To address the evaluation questions presented in Table 1, a mixed-methods approach to data collection will be used to collect information from multiple sources. Using both qualitative and quantitative data sources concurrently will allow the third-party evaluator, with assistance from the data manager, to gain a multi-dimensional perspective that allows for a more thorough analysis and promotes triangulation. Table 1 shows the methods and data sources for each evaluation question. Importantly, this table shows that data on both the comparison groups and the program participant groups (described below) will come from the same data sources. All participant and comparison group members will be affiliated with a consortium institution; therefore, it will be possible to collect the information needed by USDOL (e.g., name, date of birth, and Social Security Number) to track comparison group members during the student enrollment process. 1 Because evaluation is ongoing, and especially because this is a multi-year program, it is likely that some of these components will be modified along with the changing priorities and data needs of the primary stakeholders. As such, an examination of the utility of this plan will occur on a routine basis. DESIGN & DATA ANALYSIS. The various programs of study, along with the diverse nature of the evaluation questions and corresponding methods of data collection, will necessitate a 1 This consortium has agreed to provide these data to the Department of Labor on an annual basis during the grant period of performance. 3
4 comprehensive yet flexible design and data analysis plan. Random assignment into participant and control groups is not practical for this project because educational training will be provided to all students who apply to, are accepted into, and enroll in a grant-funded program of study. In other words, program directors will select participants from a pool of self-selected candidates based on their assessment of students aptitude in the programs. When appropriate, the planning and implementation evaluation will address whether the program is organized, managed, and delivered in a consistent manner across RX TN institutions. Comparison groups (consisting of an equal number of students as the participant groups) will be used to measure grant impact on participants in most of the training programs. Overall, program participants will differ from the cohort group because only the participant group will have received the various support prescriptions included in the RX TN grant. For instance, participants will be provided with skills assessment and readiness services, career exploration and academic planning services, academic preparation and supplementary instruction services, and retention and completion coaching services. With the exception of the Surgical Technology, Patient Care Technician and Emergency Medical Dispatcher programs, for which no appropriate comparison data are available, posttest comparisons of participant and comparison groups will be used to measure grant impacts. See Table 2 for a description of all comparison groups. When it is appropriate, comparison and participant groups will be matched on the basis of age, gender, and institution to attenuate the effect of nonequivalence on validity. When group differences exist, statistical analyses will control for these variables. The last column in Table 1 indicates the data analysis procedures that will be used to address each evaluation question. INTERPRETATION & DISSEMINATION. So that evaluation results are meaningful and conducive to program improvement, data will be interpreted and conclusions will be made by the 4
5 3rd-party evaluator in conjunction with the RX TN director and other stakeholders as appropriate. Evaluation results will be shared regularly with RX TN management to ensure that adjustments are made in a timely manner. The 3 rd party evaluator will work with grant management to develop a plan to disseminate findings 2, some of which will be included in the interim report. The evaluator will also assist grant management with decision-making that leads to the modification/improvement of processes that will be evaluated and reflected in the final report. This dissemination plan is tied to the utility standard of evaluation 3, and will ensure that results are used in purposeful ways that support continuous program improvement. Finally, consistent with the grantor s goal to fund programs that supply TAA and other adults with the skills and credentials needed to gain high-wage, high-skill employment, the evaluator will make evidence-based suggestions for future replication of the program in the final report. THIRD-PARTY EVALUATOR SELECTION. The 3 rd party evaluator of RX TN must practice in accordance with the national program evaluation standards and the Guiding Principles of the American Evaluation Association (AEA, ). Using AEA s Guiding Principles ensures that program evaluators engage in rigorous evaluations that are based on systematic data-based inquiry. Using the Guiding Principles in the selection process also helps ensure that only competent, ethical, and respectful evaluators are chosen to facilitate the evaluation of this program. The process of selecting an evaluator requires adherence to state and federal purchasing guidelines to appropriately bid for these services. Roane State expects to attain a 3 rd party evaluator by April 1, A dissemination plan will include regularly scheduled meetings with stakeholders, and/or the development of multiple, tailored evaluation reports aimed at specific stakeholder groups. 3 Yarbrough, D.
