Project Evaluation Resources

PROJECT EVALUATION RESOURCES

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund has enlisted the services of The Education Consulting Team to help evaluate Student Science Enrichment Program funded projects. Each project director is responsible for carrying out additional evaluation of their project, and can consult TECT about this process.

Project directors should administer Burroughs Wellcome Fund Student Feedback Surveys to all students who have participated in the project for a minimum of 10 hours during the year. All surveys should be returned to TECT with an attached cover sheet within two weeks of completing the project.

STUDENT FEEDBACK SURVEY INSTRUCTIONS
Revised January 2004

The Cover Sheet and Student Feedback Survey request information to inform the Burroughs Wellcome Fund about students' perceptions of SSEP activities. The same information will be helpful to you in improving your program and should be incorporated in your SSEP Annual Progress Report.

Each batch of surveys you send us should be accompanied by a Cover Sheet. If students in your project are divided into subgroups (e.g., by project component or location), use a separate Cover Sheet for each subgroup. In return, we will send you survey data for each subgroup. We will do our best to send you your data (in Word and Excel formats) within one month of when we receive it.

The Student Feedback Survey should be administered to participating students at or near the close of major project activities, with two important exceptions:

In the case of projects that have multiple components (e.g., school year and summer activities), the survey should be administered at the conclusion of each component, even if the same students participate in more than one component.
The survey should be completed only by groups of students who have had a minimum of 10 contact hours in your project or in a specific component of your project.

Please allow plenty of time (about 15-20 minutes) for students to fill out the survey and give thoughtful answers to the open-ended questions.

Mail your surveys to us within two weeks of administering them. The Annual Program Evaluation Report will include data for projects that ended between July 1 and the following June 30. Data that are not received by July 15 will not be included in the annual report.

Mail surveys to:
