Goals for Today● Gain a better understanding of program
evaluation metrics of traditional funders and of social entrepreneur investors.
● Examine the perspectives of funders as well as fund- seekers on metrics, such as growth metrics and impact metrics.
● Generate ideas on how to measure teacher and student success/creativity beyond quantitative test scores, with additional focus on teacher quality, teacher retention, student learning (i.e. how do funders look for/measure success in these arenas?)
● Generate ideas on how to “sell” creativity as a metric and how to transform schools into creative learning environments.
