COMMON MEASURES – 2.0
Please review the Guidance & DM Tips for 4-H in using Common Measures and Program Evaluation surveys for youth programs.
- At least 2 weeks BEFORE your program STARTS, complete the Program Evaluation Planning Tool (PEPT) for 4-H to document your program details and survey request, and to ask any questions. With your submitted PEPT information, we will work with you to address your questions and prepare a custom URL for your survey.
- You will receive an email containing the “Link & Instructions” document with a custom URL generated for your Qualtrics data entry (or direct entry by youth), and a “PDF” for printing as appropriate. Do not share the custom URL outside of this program, and don’t re-use it for future programs. This URL helps sort responses by individual program, and reduces the number of questions youth have to answer by avoiding questions like title, date, location, instructor, etc.
Email evaluation@purdue.edu if you have questions.
STATEWIDE ANNUAL DEADLINE = September 1. For all using Common Measures during the year, please have your data entered in Qualtrics by September 1. We will prepare a statewide report and impact statement with the data your provide, and your name will be included in this statewide report and impact statement.
