IMPACT & EVALUATION
Understanding impact and improving educational programmes
I design and deliver evaluations across AI in education, digital literacies, computing, cybersecurity, STEM and community learning, helping organisations understand how programmes are experienced, implemented and sustained.
My work examines who participates and benefits, how learning and professional practice develop, what enables or constrains delivery, and which outcomes are achieved. I translate this evidence into clear, practical recommendations for programme improvement, strategic planning and future investment.
EVALUATION FOCUS
What I evaluate
My evaluations help funders, programme leaders, and delivery partners identify effective elements, target beneficiaries, underlying mechanisms, and next steps. I systematically assess programme design and implementation, as well as participation, learning, professional practice, and long-term outcomes. This approach generates robust evidence and actionable recommendations to support accountability, continuous improvement, investment decisions, and future programme development.
Programme design and delivery
How programme aims are translated into activity, how implementation works across different settings, and how delivery responds to participant needs, emerging opportunities and practical constraints.
Participation, learning and practice
Who participates and benefits, what enables or limits engagement, and how programmes influence knowledge, literacies, confidence, agency, learning and professional practice.
Outcomes, impact and sustainability
What changes, for whom and under what conditions, including intended and unexpected outcomes, longer-term influence, transfer into practice and the potential for sustained or wider delivery.
APPROACH
An evidence-led approach
I design each evaluation to align with the programme's purpose, participant needs, and operating context. I develop clear questions that support decision-making and produce credible findings and actionable recommendations. This approach provides a strong basis for programme improvement, future investment, and strategic planning for funders, leaders, and delivery partners.
01 — Define what matters
Clarify the purpose, audiences, intended outcomes and key evaluation questions, including how the findings will be used.
02 - Build the evidence
Develop an appropriate evaluation framework by integrating programme information with qualitative and quantitative evidence from relevant participants and stakeholders.
03 - Interpret the findings
Examine patterns, differences and relationships across the evidence, considering how context, implementation and participant experience influence outcomes.
04 - Support informed action
Communicate findings through clear reports, briefings and practical recommendations that support accountability, programme improvement and future decisions.
