What will evaluation do for you?

SoundView Evaluation and Research delivers thoughtful analysis of evidence-backed findings.  Once the simple counting of
people or things is summarized, we delve into the intellectual heart of the issues to illuminate understanding of what actually
happened, compared to what you hoped would happen, along with thoughtful suggestions for the future.

We will be your critical friend — who sees with clarity, helps you thoroughly understand, and then supports constructive
changes.  These are the essentials of evaluation — collect evidence, analyze it within the context of what experts are doing in the
field, and move forward to better understanding and implementation.  

The SoundView Evaluation & Research team has more than 20 years of distinguished service in the formal and informal
science-learning world.

Formative evaluation
  • During the brainstorming phase of a project, SoundView can help you define goals, outcomes, and how to measure
    those outputs, within budget.  As the program unfolds we help you look at what is happening:  is it following the
    original plan, and where and how the project can be improved to achieve the intended aims.

    •  
 
Summative evaluation
  • As a project or program concludes, we answer the question:  what were the outcomes?  What impact did the
    program have on participants and staff?  We provide essential feedback to the client and report what is meaningful
    for the funder.  There is always another grant to go after, and having the capacity to learn from the past is
    encouraged.
