Evaluating Your B-WET Funded ProgramEvaluation is an integral part of quality education—it’s not just the test at the end—and it’s important to NOAA, which funds the Chesapeake B-WET program. Evaluation is the systematic study and documentation of a project’s outcomes to improve its effectiveness, guide judgments about its impact, and/or inform decisions about its future. Evaluation can help you learn more about your audience’s understandings, needs, and issues as you plan your project. It can help you adjust and improve as you develop your project. And finally, evaluation can help you assess how well you’ve done after implementing your project. Evaluation throughout keeps you connected to your audience and on track with your goals and objectives.
