Click on the

for participants under 18 years of age. Select the correct button
& click "Continue." If you haven't obtained the

Program Information
The next window
will ask you to identify the name of the educational program you
are evaluating, the Delivery Method, and the Plan of Work area
this program fits into, if any.
Select
Outcome Indicators
Select five ore more
indicators you want on your evaluation form from the list of outcome indicators. Select indicators based on your program's
objectives and goals. Click in the box next to each indicator
you select.

Optional Indicators
At the end
of the list of "Outcome Indicators" there
are 10 blank boxes you can use to add your own program indicators.
These indicators are optional, and data collected on them will
not be entered into the Evaluation System, but may be useful
to gather for your local program. If you are going to publish
your evaluation results in the local newspaper or anywhere else,
you must have the optional indicators approved by the MSU Institutional
Review Board. See Participant Consent.

After you have clicked on Build It, you will see the information you have input in the first window. This gives you a chance to review what you have done and make changes, if necessary.

or logos to personalize the evaluation form, but please make sure you add the MSU Extension Service logo. If you need a high quality version of this, please contact Jay Van Voast.
You will notice three open-ended questions at the end of your form. This information is for your local use only and will not be entered into the Evaluation System.

Print copies
of your evaluation form to distribute to program participants
to complete during one of the last sessions of your program.
Using
the Form
The
outcome indicators listed on this Web site (View
Indicators) have been written to provide useful information,
and yet be general enough to apply to various FCS and
4-H Youth Development programs. Therefore, when administering
the evaluation, you will need to instruct the participants to think
about the statements in relation to the program they have just
completed. You might say, "Think back on what you have learned
in this (name of your program) about (topic of the program). Respond
to the statements based on this program."
