ESS resource: ESS Evaluation Methods and Tools

Resource theme: Using evidence

Principles for good evaluation: Communicated well

Evaluation pathway stage: Acting on your learning

The third sector is all about making a difference (achieving outcomes). We believe that we can all make more of a difference, more quickly, if we make sure others can benefit from what we learn.

This workbook can help you pinpoint what learning you have that would be helpful to share. You can also use it to consider who to share your learning with, what you want to achieve by sharing, and the best way to go about it.

This workbook is an editable PDF. You can type in the boxes, save, edit and share the document with colleagues.

To learn how to get the most out of this resource, see the short recording from our ‘Helping you Share your Learning’ resource session.
