Evaluation Valerie is an interactive and visual evaluation tool that’s great for gathering feedback about a service, event or session.
Method
Here is Valerie – you can draw or design your own version of her:
Valerie has:
- A big heart – this is for writing down something that you loved or really enjoyed
- A handbag – this is for writing something that you’ll take away with you to use in the future, or something that you learned
- A trash can – this for something that you did not like or find helpful
- A magic wand – Valerie has a magic wand that can make one change!
- A thought bubble – something that you will remember
Ask participants to spend a few minutes writing down their thoughts on a post-it note, then stick them on Valerie in the relevant place.
These can then be collected and collated after the event/workshop to inform and improve future sessions or services.
Outcome:
Gain a more in-depth idea of people’s thoughts and feelings about a session or service. This qualitative data can help you improve your future work and hold more engaging sessions in the future.
