Mastering Asset Building Program Evaluation: A Webinar Series
By Sean Luechtefeld on 04/20/2011 @ 04:00 PM
Mastering Asset Evaluation is a set of interactive webinars for US-Mexico border asset building organizations. Sessions are intended to help organizations define evaluation questions to follow their clients and identify appropriate data collection tools to answer those questions.
Asking the “right” asset evaluation questions and finding the tools to assess them can seem a daunting task. Yet, the process is essential in helping understand how your programs help asset building clients. This webinar series is right for you if you have been collecting data on your clients but you wonder how you can:
- Frame more focused evaluation questions to understand the impacts of your programs on clients over time
- Better assess your annual BPP Family Asset Building Program surveys to understand the distinct groups of clients you serve
- Find better data collection tools – including ones that are culturally-relevant to US-Mexico border communities -- to help you track the impact of your asset programs on clients
WHO
This series will be of interest to executive leadership of nonprofit organizations providing asset building services, especially organizations participating in the BPP’s Family Asset Building Program annual Volunteer Income Tax Assistance clinics. While the webinars are open to all, participants who desire coaching from the webinar trainer and peer-to-peer feedback must take part in all three webinars.
WHEN
The set of webinars is made up of three sessions that focus on critical elements of outcomes-based evaluation. The sessions are an hour in length and run from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. PST.
COST
BPP webinars are free to current members. Nonmembers can participate by signing up for BPP membership or paying $75 for this three part series.
Register once and participate in all three sessions including:

Using a case study approach, you will see how to start – or improve - evaluation of your asset building programs. In this webinar, you will learn to identify which of your programs are best suited for following clients over time and link program activities to measurable short, medium and long-term goals for your clients.
Digging Deeper: Framing the Appropriate Questions
June 9, 10am PDT
In the second of a three-part series of asset building program evaluation, participants will apply learning from the first webinar to “drill down” further so as to ask the right evaluation questions. You will learn to frame focused evaluation questions tied to your asset building activities, use the Family Asset Building surveys to bring greater clarity to your evaluation questions, and identify how to engage other stakeholders and their sources of data in the process of framing good evaluation questions.
Participants of this webinar will benefit from peer-to-peer assistance and coaching in the process of framing evaluation questions, only if they have participated in the first webinar.
Connecting the Dots: Data Collection Connected to the Appropriate Questions
July 14, 10am PDT
In the last of the three-part webinar series of asset building program evaluation, participants will identify the best sources of data to answer their evaluation questions. This session explores data collection tools to address participants’ evaluation questions and examples of how data collection tools have been applied to assess client impact.
