Training

Empower your team with evaluation know-how

We help you build evaluation skills within your organization to make it easier for your team to understand what data to collect, how to use it, and why it matters. Growing internal evaluation capacity empowers your team to lead with greater confidence. We offer approachable, hands-on training to build real-world skills that your staff can put to use right away—no research background required.

Build skills without the overwhelm

We get it—evaluation can feel intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. Our trainings are designed to simplify the process and focus on what matters most for your team. We teach the practical skills your organization needs to help you gather, interpret, and communicate information without the overwhelm.

Right-sized training for your team

Evaluation training doesn’t have to be large-scale or complex to be valuable, and not everyone needs a full-blown evaluation system. We offer custom trainings that help your staff gain clarity, confidence, and useful evaluation skills—without overloading them. From learning how to gather meaningful data to sharing insights in a clear, compelling way, we make sure your team gets exactly what they need.

For staff at all levels

We work with teams across departments—from executive leaders to frontline staff—to make sure everyone understands how data fits into their day-to-day work. We’ll build on what your team already knows and fill in the gaps.

We know evaluation—
and we know how to teach it

We’ve spent our academic careers teaching, presenting, and facilitating. Teaching others about what we do comes naturally to us.  

As faculty members for over 30 years combined, we have taught well over a thousand students and worked in both small and large groups and classrooms. Lauren alone taught over 50 research methods courses when she was a professor! We are passionate about teaching others transformative skills to help them to make real change in their academic, organizational, and personal lives.
