Essential Skills Series: The Fundamentals of Evaluation
September 19th to October 31st, 2024

CES-NS is offering the Essential Skills Series as a facilitated online course. This course is designed for individuals new to evaluation and provides instruction on how to plan and conduct an evaluation and covers the evaluation landscape in Canada including evaluation standards, competencies, and guidance for ethical practice. You’ll have the opportunity to solidify your learning by working through an evaluation planning case study throughout the course.

Sessions will be completed over the course of 10 weeks with learners engaging in self- directed learning to complete the requirements of the course. Facilitation will be offered via biweekly online learning and discussion sessions, email support to learners, and review, feedback, and monitoring of course assignments and discussion posts as required for a certificate.

Facilitator: Nancy Carter, PhD, CE, is an evaluation strategist, consultant, and coach. She brings to the course a background in social science, organizational behaviour, and 20+ years of designing, implementing and teaching evaluation across various sectors to support learning.
