Abstract

This paper presents an overview of how a plan was developed for evaluating Develop Your Data Mindset: Essentials of Educational Data Use, an online curriculum intended to improve in-service and pre-service educators’ knowledge and skills relevant to data utilization. Five categories of assessment, a program evaluation framework, logic model, theory of change, project plan, metrics spreadsheet, and the A+ Inquiry model are synthesized to demonstrate how they supported the development of an evaluation plan. Types of evidence are described to provide an overview of the need for improved instructional supports relevant to educator data utilization, how the activities to develop and implement an online curriculum are appropriate to meet the need, how well the activities are implemented as planned, and the extent to which intended outcomes of the curriculum are achieved. Applying the methods outlined in this paper yielded a plan to help ensure the curriculum would be assessed through a comprehensive evaluation lens. Limitations are acknowledged. Methods described in this paper could be adapted to support program evaluation planning and implementation beyond the scope of this project.
