Many practitioners do innovative, exciting work with their clients but are not able to truly show the successes of their efforts. Evaluation is key to informing improvement activities and improving financial education outcomes for Native individuals, families and communities. This webinar will provide an overview of the basic steps to evaluate the effectiveness of your financial education course. Topics will include: the challenges and opportunities of evaluating your class, the basic steps to conducting your evaluation, an overview of the basic tools for evaluation, and how to write up the findings of your evaluation.
