SUMMARY:Navigating Evaluation Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Join the Canadian Evaluation Society for a workshop that will examine the challenges of carrying out meaningful evaluations in different contexts. Facilitated by Dr. Jane Whynot\, this workshop uses a classification of common evaluation challenges faced by evaluators to structure the discussion. Participants will explore the methodological difficulties of data gathering\, analysis\, and ensuring validity\, with an emphasis on developing tactics to improve accuracy and consistency. We will also investigate conceptual hurdles\, such as defining and aligning evaluation objectives with organizational goals. Ethical issues will be a key focus\, including conversations around transparency\, consent\, and cultural awareness. Moreover\, we will address overarching topics like stakeholder involvement\, resource limitations\, and the need for flexible evaluation models. The workshop covers methodological\, conceptual\, ethical\, and cross-cutting challenges. Real-world examples from academic research\, personal experience\, and professional practice will be used to encourage group reflection\, identify areas for improvement\, and share valuable insights. This session is perfect for professionals aiming to expand their knowledge of evaluation techniques and tackle common challenges in their work. \nRegister for the workshop here

SUMMARY:Practical Theory of Change Creation Workshop/Atelier pratique de création de Théorie du Changement
DESCRIPTION:The Société Québécoise d’évaluation de programme (SQEP) is hosting a workshop in French on practical theory of change for evaluation presented by Ludovic Décoret and Judith Gaudet. This workshop was created in response to a previous presentation in September 2025\, where Ludovic and Judith defined a theory of Change (ToC). Building on the enthusiasm sparked by at this previous workshop\, Judith and Ludovic are hosting an interactive workshop on developing a Theory of Change (ToC). Following a brief theoretical overview\, participants will be divided into two groups\, each working to draft a ToC based on a real-world example. \nThis session is open to everyone\, and prior attendance at the September 19\, 2024\, training is not required to participate. To support the workshop\, we are seeking two volunteers to provide real program cases currently under evaluation.\n\n\n\nRegister for the workshop here \n\n\n\nLors d’une présentation le 19 septembre 2024\, Judith Gaudet et Ludovic Décoret ont défini une théorie du changement (TdC)\, sa conception impliquant les parties prenantes et son utilité tout au long de l’évaluation. \nPour donner suite à l’intérêt suscité par le contenu\, Judith et Ludovic proposent un atelier pratique de création d’une TdC. Après un rapide retour théorique\, deux sous-groupes seront créés. Chacun travaillera à amorcer une TdC\, à partir d’un cas concret. Ce sera l’occasion pour les personnes participantes d’expérimenter les questionnements et l’animation d’une TdC.\n\n\n\nInscivez-vous ici
