Participants will learn how to strengthen evaluation practices through multidisciplinary collaboration, culturally responsive assessment approaches, and the use of multiple sources of data. The session also highlights practical systems and workflow strategies that can improve efficiency without sacrificing the quality or integrity of evaluations.
