Item Connecting the Community Report(2014) Edwards, BrittanyItem Cross-analysis of October 2013 Staff Retreats and SWOT Activities(Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2014) Amarteifio, Gifty; Davila, Heather; Edwards, Brittany; Iverson, Ellen; Larson, Michelle; Ostgaard, Gayra; Kumars ToosiThis project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. In 2013, the City of North St. Paul hired a new city manager who wanted to foster continued reflection among city departments, and departments held a series of retreats as part of this initiative. To determine the impact of these retreats, project lead Jason Ziemer worked with students in Dr. Jean King’s OLPD 8595: Evaluation Problems. The students conducted a SWOT analysis during the retreats and developed a set of recommendations for each. The final memo is available.Item Program Evaluation Plan for the Perpich Center for Arts Education Governance, Administration, Financial and Performance Structures(Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs, 2013-03-22) Edwards, BrittanyThis document presents a plan for an external, developmental program evaluation of the Perpich Center for Arts Education (PCAE). This document is not an evaluation, but rather a plan for an evaluation of a particular kind. Developmental evaluation is ongoing and based on collaborative planning with the stakeholders of an organization. It is not a definitive judgment of an organization, but rather a process to encourage self-examination and improvement. This document proposes a plan--including topics, questions, a process, and timeline - for such an evaluation to be conducted. Such an evaluation of PCAE, as a state agency, could be conducted by the Office of the Legislative Auditor if PCAE were selected by the Topic Selection Subcommittee of the Legislative Audit Commission, for completion by the Office of the Legislative Auditor. An evaluation of PCAE is acutely relevant as several recent concerns have been voiced about the governance structure, and as the institution attempts to absorb and maintain a new school.
