ACTIVITY
Rochelle M. Bertulfo
■ Evaluation is a critical part of many
community/environmental learning program. During this
phase, you evaluate whether or not you have been
successful in reaching your goals.
■ During evaluation, find ways to monitor and assess how
much participation has occurred and the results of this
participation.

community and the environment.
■ Assists you in getting further funding for your program.
■ Gives you important information and feedback for redesigning the
program.
■ Shows you what was successful and what was not so successful
about the design a d facilitation of your program.
■ Gives you a basis for reporting your success to organization, the
community and others.

technique has worked.
 Interviewing

program really evaluates the learner’s immediate reaction.

improvements in the environments and how well environment action
has contributed to these improvements. Audits are way of measuring
the impact of our behavior.s
