NSVRC is pleased to offer this free webinar introducing preventionists to principles-focused evaluation (PFE), which identifies principles describing core values and behaviors used to foster successful prevention work. PFE complements outcome evaluation and supports decision making during prevention implementation. Participants will learn how to incorporate their own sexual violence prevention effectiveness principles into their evaluation approach.  This learning will be accompanied by examples from Washington state’s experience of engaging preventionists in the process of identifying principles – a project supported by the State Department of Health.
      
Objectives

After this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Define Principles-Focused Evaluation and articulate how it complements other types of program evaluation.
2. Describe the process involved in identifying and refining effectiveness principles.
3. Articulate ways that the principles-identification process can reconnect staff to the values underlying their own prevention work.
4. Describe the process involved in developing a Principles-Focused Evaluation plan.
