Presentation at 8:30
In the Essentials of Utilization-focused Evaluation, Michael Quinn Patton describes evaluation as finding out if what is hoped for actually happens. When it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion, and/or cultural competency—has your organization identified what it hopes will happen?
Clarifying vision and intention regarding cultural competency is a central and critical step. Following that with the key elements of evaluation can provide an exciting framework for creating shared vision, action planning, and accountability for diversity, equity, inclusion, and/or cultural competency goals within your organization.
Attend this interactive session of the Diversity Leaders Network and begin to develop and/or review your organization’s evaluation plan for cultural competency. As we focus on the intersecting cultural competency and outcome evaluation, we will explore the following areas:
- What is your underlying belief that explains how planned actions will achieve cultural competency?
- What are your specific goals related to cultural competency?
- What are outcomes? What are cultural competency outcomes?
- What are indicators that show cultural competency has been achieved?
- What are methods to collect data related to your goals, outcomes, and indicators?
- Where is my organization in this process, and what is our logical next step?
