Evaluation for Social Change and Transformational Learning Certificate
Traditional evaluation alone is no longer adequate to measure the impact of initiatives that address complex problems. To bring about social transformation, effective evaluators must also embrace their role as innovators and change-makers. Whether you鈥檙e a professional evaluator, program manager, grant-maker or leader, our program will help you apply principles of transformative and culturally responsive evaluation.
You鈥檒l study with leading practitioners from diverse professional backgrounds. Together, you鈥檒l explore multiple ways of knowing, including a focus on Indigenous ways of knowing. You鈥檒l leave with new approaches to measuring progress on tough social, economic and environmental issues.
