Mission

To increase the number of evaluators who deliver evaluations that are relevant, of high quality, and useful. The Evaluators' Institute® offers concentrated professional development courses on evaluation topics. Nationally and internationally recognized leaders in the evaluation profession helped with the conception of the Institute in 1995-96 and each year assist with the planning and implementation of courses and the continued development of TEI.

Institute Goals

• to enhance the capabilities of practicing evaluators and others responsible for producing and using evaluation results,
• to increase the implementation and use of methodologically-defensible evaluations,
• to advance the evaluation profession, and
• to implement events that are seen as relevant, of high quality, and useful.

Course Objectives

One- to four-day courses are offered on a variety of topics to help practicing evaluators learn new skills or polish old ones. But, others who know something about scientific research and want to learn applications in evaluation or who nevertheless find themselves involved in evaluation tasks should also be challenged by the courses. It is hoped that those who attend will hone their skills in diagnosing, analyzing, designing, managing, and implementing such that evaluations, and the programs evaluated, will be improved.
