2009 DoDEA Grant Kick-Off Conference – Scottsdale, AZ, December 7–8, 2009

The project director and evaluator from each of the 2009 DoDEA Grantees attended this initial conference, in which they met with DoDEA and Evaluation Technical Assistance Center staff, gathered pertinent information about managing their grant, and learned useful strategies for maximizing the effectiveness and results of their program’s evaluation. The agenda included general sessions attended by all participants, as well as several small group sessions for project director and evaluator collaboration. ETAC staff was on hand to help project teams refine or develop plans for evaluating grant activities and outcomes.
