Presentation Title: Building Better Surveys

Abstract: This skill-building workshop is back by popular demand! Have you ever wondered what strategies you can use to improve your surveys? Or, wanted to create or adapt an instrument that better captures difficult to measure concepts well? Or, wanted to make sure that your survey instrument is able to accurately shed light on the story you are trying to understand? This session will teach you an easy-to-implement mixed-method feedback process to build better surveys. The session will begin with an overview of the process, which includes both a review and interview component. Throughout the session, presenters will focus on the value and use of the process, walk through examples from real-life evaluation studies, and share resources for further learning. Attendees will also have the opportunity to practice using this process through hands-on activities. Attendees will leave the session with templates they can adapt for their own use and guidance to help them feel prepared to take action. Throughout the session, presenters will call attention to ways in which equity is and can be centered in the mixed-method feedback process.
