ServicesProgram Evaluation

Metis evaluators have strong technical skills in evaluation design, measurement, psychometrics, data management systems, and program implementation and fidelity. We apply these skills, tools, and methods in a wide variety of program areas and across a continuum from early learning through career readiness. Across the different content domains, we are steeped in public and private grant programs and evaluation requirements.

Program Evaluation Services

We offer a full range of program evaluation services, including:

• Working with client grant-writing teams during the proposal stage to define strong program goals, develop measurable outcomes, and write evaluation sections
• Determining evaluation designs and data collection methods aligned to project process objectives, outcomes, and program performance measures
• Developing logic models, theories of change, visual results frameworks, and other evaluation-related tools
• Assessing program fidelity, including inter-rater reliability practices
• Conducting literature and document reviews
• Collecting qualitative data, including focus groups, in-depth individual interviews, case studies, and program observations
• Compiling quantitative data, including student or client outcomes, surveys, and content assessments

Program Evaluation Case Studies

Bringing HOPE to Staten Island

Following an intensive, multi-partner planning effort, the Richmond County District Attorney’s Office offered eligible substance-abuse offenders pre-arraignment diversion services. Early implementation findings suggest it is a promising approach to combatting the city’s rising opioid crisis.

Closing Opportunity and Achievement Gaps through Out-of-School Time Programs

With a deep history of supporting out-of-school-time programs nationally, Metis evaluators continue to examine how these initiatives help level the playing field for children and youth in under-resourced communities.
