Best Practices in Evaluation of Multi-site LSAMP Programming to Diversify the Stem Talent Pool

Presented at the Louis Stokes Midwest Regional Center of Excellence, Indianapolis, IN.

Program

In this roundtable, we will facilitate an in-depth discussion on the best practices for multi-site evaluations of program implementation and assessing outcomes across LSAMP alliance partner institutions. The goal of the roundtable discussion is to understand best practices from alliances for both evaluation and analysis of LSAMP programming and student data. We will provide a mix of empirical evidence and our own experiences working within an alliance, and we will facilitate interaction and in-depth discussion among attendees. Questions we will consider include (a) differences across institutions, (b) selection and integration of valid and reliable quantitative and qualitative measures, (c) timing of data collection, and (d) how to increase student and faculty survey participation.
