How do I create an effective evaluation plan? IDC can help

Linking an evaluation plan to your project and program planning efforts makes it much more likely that you will minimize data collection burdens, meet reporting requirements, and, most importantly, collect and use meaningful, high-quality data to guide continuous improvement. To assist state staff and other stakeholders in planning for the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP), IDC developed A Guide to SSIP Evaluation Planning. While IDC originally developed the guide to help states with their SSIP evaluation planning, you can easily use the guide for any data-informed project or program planning at the state or local level.
