Part 3: Policy Evaluation  * Evaluate your proposal using these key social work frameworks: * Systems * Social Justice * Ethics * Strength-Based * Sustainable * Evaluate your proposal for its intended efficiency (how ‘wisely’ resources like time, money, staffing, space, etc. are being used) and effectiveness (what you know about if it will work, for instance comparing to similar things already in place. This is akin to a cost-benefit analysis and a look at face validity. * How would you define success with this change? * Identify three major outcomes of your proposed policy change that you would measure to determine its success. Describe the steps you would take to measure these. What resources would you need? Briefly describe your plan for measurement. * Describe how you have considered the perspectives of your stakeholders in defining success. * Describe how you would engage individuals impacted by the social issue in determining what ‘success’ looks like and how it should be measured. As you do so consider the difference between satisfaction, the experience of whatever program or policy you are proposing, and the designed concrete outcomes. These are all very different. For example, you can be very satisfied with an outcome, but just have an ok time, and the outcome can actually be really small. Or you can be really dissatisfied, have a bad experience, and have a great outcome (e.g., terrible but life-saving experience in the hospital). These are DIFFERENT concepts. * Articulate how you would share your results. Be sure to talk through how you would share it to people impacted, as well as broader stakeholders. How would you ensure this is done with social justice in mind? How would you create a feedback loop to get input about the results that are shared?
