Greetings,
I'm an independent (external) program evaluator (www.eval.org), and over the past five years I managed the evaluation of a state grant that funded over 100 alternative education programs serving students in nearly 500 school districts in Ohio (http://cle.osu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2006year-endreport.pdf).
As a consultant, most of my grant writing has been as co-author with school personnel who requested technical assistance in grant writing as well as successfully implementing and/or evaluating their programming. I very much enjoy working collaboratively on such projects.
I'm always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with schools and/or school districts. I enjoy helping build local capacity, and I specialize in creating low-cost, sustainable, local evaluation systems that inform quality improvement and provide information useful for future grant writing.
If you are interested, check out the Website listed below or send me your name and email address via the form at the bottom of this page.
Regards,
