PROJECT GOALS<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The goals of IMPACT NC are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Identification of a set of shared goals for informal science education across the state.<\/li>
  • Development of metrics to assess these goals.<\/li>
  • Enhanced capacity of the Community of Practice of science museums to conduct evaluation centered on these collective evaluation goals and metrics.<\/li>
  • Improved cohesion among science museums and other partners in NC (e.g. university collaborators, non-profit organizations) as they collectively work toward shared  goals.<\/li>
  • Development of a system for reporting program outcomes using shared metrics that is integrated into annual reporting or grant proposal processes across NC, thereby informing decision making.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
