Evaluation

An evaluation describes a plan for determining how well the objectives are met. Evaluation is helpful for these reasons:

• It lets you think about what you are doing and why.
• It lets you know if you’re doing what you said you would do.
• It tells you what’s working well.
• It lets you know what you need to change and how you can improve your project.
• It shows other communities what has worked for you.
• It gives you ideas for future projects.

An evaluation plan is linked to your project objectives and activities. A plan should include the following information:

• How you will measure success (indicators) e.g. number of families participating in the oral history project; participants’ observation of any changes in the amount of Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun spoken in the home.
• What results you hope to achieve e.g. families with more awareness of their family and community history; families using more Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun in their homes; family members with a stronger sense of personal identity and increased self-esteem; more awareness of the importance of maintaining Inuit languages in order to maintain cultural identity.
• How you will gather information e.g. survey, feedback session with project participants.
