The Office of International Programs Global Research and Engagement launched an online course designed for working professionals. The, ‘Monitoring and Evaluation Leadership in Learning’ has enrolled 32 professionals from Ghana, India, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Singapore, South Sudan, Thailand, Uganda, and the United States.
WSU faculty and students interested in international projects are now welcome to register for the last of four offerings for the 2017/2018 Academic Year, starting June 4.
The course focuses on connecting M&E to adaptive program management, an approach now often mandated by donors and funding agencies. Participants from the first offering are already using the skills and tools they developed during the course. For example, Dr. Karen Duca, who enrolled while volunteering with Bambi Land Montessori School in Ghana, used a survey she developed using a mobile data collection application introduced through the course to determine what students understood of other religions. The course is structured to provide every participant with similar space to complete tasks that can be applied immediately to their own programs, research, or studies. The course is particularly beneficial for graduate students preparing to apply their work in the context of international development.

The course registration fee is $625, including the option of earning 3.5 Continuing Education Unit credits. This is a noncredit course developed with WSU’s Professional Education team.
