"How can I be sure that my projects will reach the right audience and
have the right impact?"
"What can I do to make sure that my efforts go beyond 'preaching to the
choir'?"

This free 2-day workshop course, presented by program training
specialists from NOAA's Coastal Services Center in Charleston, SC,
provides coastal resource management and education professionals with
the knowledge, skills and tools to design and implement projects that
have measurable impacts on the audience they want to reach. The
interactive curriculum will help increase the effectiveness of projects
by applying valid instructional theory to their design. After attending
the workshop, participants will be able to:
* Describe the context of project design and evaluation within the scope
of agency and organization missions, strategic plans, and established
program niches;
* Apply appropriate instructional design theory and practices to project
development;
* Explain the role of logic models in project design and evaluation, and
create logic models for their projects;
* Use performance measurement as part of project evaluation; and
* Describe three types and four levels of evaluation that can be applied
to extension and education projects.

Following a short overview of project design theory, participatory
workshop sessions will focus on several topics including:
* Instructional Design Theory
* Use of Needs Assessments
* Project Design
* Evaluation Design
* Project Implementation
* Project Evaluation.

This is a great opportunity for individuals and organizations to learn
more about project management and outreach, and then apply these lessons
to both improve the efficiency and increase the effectiveness of a
project on the intended audience.
