Methodologies
Maberry Consulting evaluations emphasize continuous program improvement. We work with program staff, teachers, administrators, project managers, and key stakeholders to conduct evaluations that provide meaningful results.
The following is a sampling of the methodologies that we use:
- Surveys (online and print)
- Experimental and quasi-experimental research where possible to determine the impact of an intervention relative to others who do not use the intervention
- Data mining with project database managers to query the data, collect relevant information, & make connections between data files to help organizations understand patterns in their own information
- Meta-analysis of existing reports to show the forest instead of numerous individual trees
- Focus groups with youth participants, parents and program staff
- In-depth interviews, which allow for a depth of descriptive detail and discussion of sensitive subjects
- Observation of programs and activities
Maberry has served as the external evaluator on numerous federal, state, local and private grants. For help planning evaluations, contact us at 866.753.7229.
