Formative Evaluator's Report: Bridging the Gap, Phase II (Appendices)

Bridging the Gap
External Evaluator Monthly Report
March 1 – 31, 2003

Activities:

  • Spent a fair bit of time discussing how the function of Curriculum Development Specialist can be carried out (Walter Smith at the College). This is an important process item for future BTG initiatives.
  • Set up the logistics of meeting with all participants. Throughout the month I touched base with participants, Academic Instructors and Co–ordinators in all sites except for Triton which had to be re–scheduled due to sickness. That is re–scheduled for April 4th.
  • Did the post attitudinal assessment with the Newfoundland Hardwoods participants, Academic Instructors, Employment Partner and Union Partner.
  • Received and reviewed a variety of reports and minutes from the five sites, the Program Co–ordinator and the Provincial Co–ordination Team.
  • Wrote/edited the combined recommendations of the Project and Provincial Co–ordinators and circulated to the Evaluation Committee
  • Editing the Social and Economic Landscape document. A draft will be ready for discussion at the April 30th Evaluation Committee meeting.
  • Review Provincial Co–ordinator's draft of criteria/guidelines for selecting private businesses for BTG and provided my comments.
  • Reviewing and making travel arrangements with the Financial Co–ordinator for final visits to PHS and Burgeo in May.
  • Review with Michelle the agenda for April 30th Evaluation meeting

Plans for April:

  • Complete the editing of the Social and Economic Landscapes for the five sites (and review the provincial landscapes as released by the SSP)
  • Interview Triton Participants, Academic Instructor and Co–ordinator
  • Prepare for Evaluation Committee Meeting

Have a great day!
