Questions
Over the last couple of years, I've been working with one of the most compelling organizations in Canada, Intercordia. The organization is a thoughtful off-shoot of the international L'Arche movement, steeped in the philosophy and learnings of L'Arche founder, Jean Vanier. Intercordia is a radical model of service learning/study abroad programming for Canadian university students. Among many areas of engagement, the folks at Intercordia came to me to help them answer the question, "How do we evaluate transformation of the heart?"
I must admit that I am not an evaluation guru, though I've been forced over the years to be thoroughly engaged in the practice of program outcome evaluation (thank you, United Way). Sure, I took methods courses in graduate school and know my way around a randomized trial. What I am known for is exploring and applying creative solutions in spaces with limited resources. You might say I can turn an egg and a beer into a champagne brunch.
