Description¶

A companion resource listed on the publication page, titled "Measurement and Evaluation Plan Template," published Feb 06, 2023 by Kate Place, Gregory Chojnacki, Virginia Knechtel, Andy Gothro, Megan Shoji, and Lindsay Fox. It appears as related output from the same project supporting funders' M&E planning, though this page describes it only by title and authorship.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Used alongside funder planning of learning goals and M&E approaches, per the publication page's related-resources listing.

Constraints¶

• This page provides only the template's title, date, and authors; it does not describe the template's contents.

Target Learners¶

• Education funders and grantees developing measurement and evaluation plans

Target Learning Goals¶

• Planning measurement and evaluation for learning solutions

Claims¶

• The M&E Plan Template promotes continuity across funders' portfolios, enabling streamlined review and cross-solution comparisons [+W]
• Using a shared reporting template across funded organizations promotes continuity and cross-solution comparison of reports [+W]

Related Elements¶

• Companion Mathematica publications supporting M&E planning: Prior Research Table, Targets Guide, Sample Size Guide, and Reporting Template
• Measurement and Evaluation Plan Template as a roadmap for developing an M&E plan with a research partner
• Measurement and Evaluation Reporting Template for summarizing and sharing study findings
• Practitioner's Guide to Integrating Literacy and Science

Examples¶

• Include recommended appendices with solution details, findings relative to targets, and study methods
• Funders should develop learning goals, plan their M&E approach, and communicate expectations before releasing an RFP and awarding grants
• Engage a learning partner to support funders and grantees in designing and carrying out a learning plan and building M&E capacity
