  6. Definition - monitoring Monitoring: is the regular observation and recording of activities taking place in a programme. It is a process of routinely gathering information on all aspects of the activity. It is like watching where you are going while riding a bicycle; you can adjust as you go along and ensure that you are on the right track

  7. Definition - review Review: to lookback upon; view retrospectively

  8. Definition - evaluation Evaluation: is the assessing and judging the value of a piece of work, an organisation or a service. Its main purpose is to help an organisation reflect on what it is trying to achieve, assessing how far it is succeeding, and identify required changes.

  9. Drawing this together Monitoring and review activities - Draw attention to successes Highlight areas that need changing Identify opportunities for development Evaluation activities – Generate information on impact and value Provide evidence against which you can make judgments relating to the quality of provision and practice Inform the continuous improvement plan and the scheme’s/organisation’s capacity to improve

  10. Evaluation framework Identifies the qualitative and quantitative data that is going to be gathered Outlines how the data is going to be used Reach – numbers and types of individuals affected by, or in contact with, the career development intervention Reaction – Initial feedback from the learners Learning – What has been learnt as a result of the activity or information and can this be evidenced Impact – What does the individual do differently and how does this feed into the organisation’s effectiveness Based on Donald Kirkpatrick’s Learning Evaluation Model 1959

  11. Completing the career development audit Activity Individually go through the audit tool and decide what score you would allocate to your scheme in relation to each of these statements. In fours, compare your assessments, noting similarities and differences .
