The landscape diagram can help you think through which approach may best fit your context and work. In this video, I talk about the model and give examples of the data / evaluation implications. https://t.co/JRLAKUMyUs

@JordanHarbinger @NathanPSouthern @LindsAKennedy Where is the text that we can send people who send us spam text?

One of my guiding principles is that evaluation should be in the service of equity. I'm excited to find these practical guides to review and share: https://t.co/4LJngiAtdn
I would love to hear what you all think about the content in them.

It's important to be thoughtful about the results we want so that we can better select the best actions to take. This is important when we're planning our initiatives / programs, data collection, or engagements. Doing this takes time but it's well worth the effort.

Being systematic about exploring outcomes is not mutually exclusive from working towards social justice.
I'm curious to hear how your work (in & outside of evaluation) differs when you are thoughtful about your pursuit of social justice.

Check out this cool index: California Strong Start Index helps us understand the conditions into which babies are born, so we can raise healthy, resilient kids. https://t.co/qtC0aPrLam

Collecting meaningful data is important. Data should help you understand what’s working (& under what conditions) so that you can make improvements, adaptations, & decisions, as well as make your case to potential supporters. If it’s not useful, stop collecting it.

Successful solutions are often those that have true buy-in from the community. You get this when people are able to co-create these solutions. This is probably why self-organizing teams are encouraged in HSD & Agile, and why participatory approaches are becoming so popular

[Michelle Molina @ConnectingData]

If you want to improve your organization / programs / services this is one of the questions you should be asking yourself. This is what evaluators, #HSD professionals, and / or facilitators help you do.

Love facilitating interactive workshops. I'm glad it's appreciated. #Evaluation #LogicModel #Workshop

Simple is always better, but for some of us, it’s hard not to get bogged down in the details of a complex situation.

This quote reminded me to be more thoughtful about my work and practice not getting lost in the details, but instead to ask myself: What? So what? Now what? #HSD

@nathaliejacoby1 Learning about other belief systems. Its harder to say our right when you realize everyone has the same amount of evidence

[Michelle Molina @ConnectingData]

It’s easy for our collaborators to run from meeting to meeting or task to task. Taking a moment for all of us to remember who we are advocating for or representing could not only help us refocus on the purpose of our gatherings. #faciliationTip

Advice: Let people come to their own solutions.
That’s hard to do when we think we already know the answer. It’s easy to ask leading questions. But, people can sense when you’re trying to lead them towards an answer and are not authentically exploring a situation with them.

[Michelle Molina @ConnectingData]

Your decision-making process is important. Make sure collaborators feel heard by clarifying they know their role in the process. Watch this to get ideas: https://t.co/XDgu0Zs0ys #Nonprofit

What values drive your behavior?

Mine:
1. Be kind (kindness)
2. Be curious (curiosity)
3. Learn & apply (Ongoing learning)

I’d be curious to hear what others of you have come up with.

I'm teaching an evaluation course
@UBC and am looking for community agencies interested in having a team of graduate students develop an #evaluation plan for a program in your organization. Interested? Let me know! #EvalTwitter

Participatory approaches can be hard to implement. Here I provide some tips and resources you can explore: https://t.co/TYjRv6TqLj
