Method for Monitoring Quality of Extension Programs: A Dashboard Construction Process
Ellis, Gary D.; Taggart, Allen; Lepley, Toby; Lacanienta, Andrew
Journal of Extension, v57 n1 Article 1FEA3 Feb 2019
We describe a process for construction and use of a "dashboard" for monitoring the quality of in-person nonformal education programs. We followed the process to develop a 4-H special interest (SPIN) club dashboard, but the steps are applicable to any education program that includes instruction over multiple sessions. The dashboard construction process comprises selecting performance measures, choosing data collection strategies, designing the content and layout of the dashboard, collecting data, and populating the dashboard with performance metrics. Although these process steps are intuitive, specific decision options within each step can be complex. Our article includes discussion of these complexities in the context of our SPIN club application.
