X-WR-CALDESC:In our increasingly data-driven world\, nonprofits need to be 
 able to measure and monitor the effectiveness of their programs more than 
 ever. It’s difficult to improve program services or reach without first un
 derstanding what's working and what isn't. Gathering the right data is key
 . From how many meals served at your soup kitchen or the number of student
 s in a mentoring program who graduate high school to the percent of your t
 arget population without access to affordable housing\, being able to trac
 k such numbers can help you identify the improvement or impact of your pro
 grams or organization.\n\nThroughout this three-part course\, we’ll explor
 e how real organizations are using their data\, and provide ample opportun
 ities to talk through how this applies to your own organization.\n \nThrou
 gh participation in this course\, you will:\nLearn how to ask the right qu
 estions of your data.\nExplore the many places where data can live.  \nEva
 luate multiple strategies for presenting your data.\nDive into case studie
 s of real organizations using data to make decisions.\n\nDecember 17: Pres
 enting and Using Your Data\nIt's not enough just to define and collect the
  data. Even if you work at a one-person organization\, you’ll likely need 
 to share that data with other colleagues\, board members\, and the communi
 ty at large in order to bring about change. Presenting your findings visua
 lly and making sure that your organizational process includes making use o
 f the data will ensure you can make the most of it.  \nThis abridged cours
 e is targeted at program staff\, leadership staff\, and fundraising staff—
 really anyone who is responsible for measuring outcomes or results for the
 ir organization. This is a beginner-to-intermediate course for the everyda
 y staffer (or board member) who is tasked with evaluation but doesn't know
  where to start or has started\, but wants to revise or improve their curr
 ent program. We will walk through the process of data evaluation from star
 t to finish—you don’t need a PhD in program evaluation to follow along\, y
 ou just need to show and take part in our conversation!
