Capacity Building
Description : UNOs Support and Training for the Evaluation of Programs (STEPs) proposes to partner with PMP to navigate through the process of building and disseminating their Me360 program evaluation evidence. ThIs evaluation project would include dissemination of existing evaluation results, evidence-based designation pursuit planning, Me360 fidelity strategic development, Me360 survey refinement, and exploration of Iowas prevention survey data relative to Me360 impact. STEPs uses a participatory, utilization-focused approach to all its work. Participatory means that program staff are engaged in all evaluation activities, including their planning and implementation. Utilization-focused means that evaluation activities are conducted with an eye toward usefulness for the program. As a coalition, PMP has both staff and coalition members/committees who hold a stake in this program evaluation project. STEPs will look to key PMP staff to guide the process of who should be involved in which phases or components of this project.

Description : Don Bowen’s Electronic Writing class and Justin Noel’s students from McMillan Middle School worked with Coalition for a Strong Nebraska in the fall of 2017. CFASN requested podcast and YouTube videos be made around the policies that affect the top ten initiatives of CFASN. Groups of students chose one policy topic/theme to prepare as audio/visual report which Coalition for a Strong Nebraska can use for educational purposes. The students interviewed a participating nonprofit about the policy issue, conducted research on the policy and topic, wrote a script, and created a 2 minute pod cast or video. UNO students created a space for the podcast to be published. Videos were approved and posted to the CFASN YouTube page.
