Assessment Plan:
For
our project we will be putting together a workshop on Self-Esteem during Women’s
Week at the YWCA. The workshop will be separated into three categories:
children, adolescence, and adults. Since these are the target populations we
will be doing the workshop for, we have developed a survey for each population
in order to better understand their needs and what they would be interested in
learning about at a workshop on Self-Esteem. In order to find people to take
our surveys, we have gathered together difference resources. In order to make
the survey more accessible, we made an electronic version, as well as a hard
copy. The YWCA is allowing us to go into the shelter’s cafeteria and ask the
residents of the shelters to participate in the survey. This population will be
mostly adults, but could include some of the children of the women staying at
the shelter. Leslie is able to distribute the survey at her internship, with
the permission from her supervisor and the school. Leslie is going to
distribute the survey to grades 6th-8th. Stephanie is
able to distribute the surveys to Guadalupe School grades 3rd-6th.
Stephanie was able to translate the
survey into Spanish in order to reach a more diverse population. There are no
incentives associated with taking the survey. When the surveys are being
distributed, each participant will be informed that all information they
provide will be confidential. There are going to be at least 20 completed surveys
from each category, but we are expecting there to be more than 20. The surveys
will all be distributed within the next week or two, in order to get the
results back in time for data analysis. Leslie and Stephanie are in charge of
distributing the surveys to their schools. Emily, Alexa, Leslie and Stephanie
will all be involved in the process of distributing the surveys at the YWCA
cafeteria. The analysis of the data will all be split up between the group members.
Depending on the amount of surveys we receive from each category, we will
divide up each category, as well as quantitative and qualitative questions.
