WaterMarks Y3 Evaluation Report

November 21st, 2024 | EVALUATION

This is the evaluation report for the third year of the NSF-funded WaterMarks project. It reflects a current summary of available evidence about the intended outcomes of program activities to date, as well as commentary on overall project progress and planning for the future. This report contains descriptions of embedded measures (i.e. anonymized drawings and reflections captured on a thematic postcard) included in community walks, analyses of deliberative artifacts from community workshops and meetings of the project's Community-University Working Group, and descriptions of some secondary data (i.e., documentation gathered by various members of the larger project team). It also includes some reflections emerging from the evaluation team's "critical friend" role on the project.

Appendix includes logic model.
