The NPS has very little scientifically
valid data about
the direct outcomes and impact of interpretation and education
programs for National Park Service audiences. Evaluation
methodologies should become an integral part of interpretive
program design and delivery to ensure ongoing program
improvement, effectiveness, and efficiency. Accomplishing
the
following tasks will ensure national park visitors are provided
the
most relevant and accessible interpretation and education
services possible.
The National Education Council's Education
Evaluation Coordination team, in consultation with experts
inside and outside the NPS developed an Evaluation Strategy
for Interpretation and Education. You can read the strategy
by following the links (in the menu at right).
As part of the development process, an
Evaluation Summit was held in Denver. A description of the
summit can also be found on the menu (at right).
