Abstract Information: Evaluation aspires to provide information to program developers and implementers with information that will lead toward improvement over time. “Evidence-Based Programs” are considered to have met sufficient effectiveness criteria that they may be used confidently by others. Using collaborative evaluation techniques can facilitate the process of program improvement thereby assisting programs toward evidence-base status. This panel presents three different programs (outdoor experiential education, K-12 education, and healthy foods initiative) from three evaluation perspectives (individual single program, external evaluation, internal state department of education evaluator, and external evaluation team lead for multi-state program development). Evaluators in each of the three situations has used collaborative evaluation techniques to facilitate the usefulness of the evaluation process. They will report on their efforts and share their reflections on the results.
