PURPOSE This questionnaire is designed to collect data for later tabulation and analysis. The collected data will include (1) judgements made by the people being interviewed (not by the evaluator); (2) lists; (3) detailed descriptions of significant items. B. POLICIES 1. Do not expect your answers to be treated confidentially. In fact no confidential information is desired. Therefore, your answers - many of which are your opinion - should be what you could and would be willing to state publicly. 2. We want an evaluation which is fair, honest, and helpful. Therefore, the questionnaire includes the questions being asked of all groups. 3. The evaluator will be glad to show you what he has written down at the conclusion of personal interviews. 4. You will be asked to review and initial the interviewers notes in order to assure accuracy. C. PARTS The questionnaire is separated into different sections. Some people will answer the questions in only one section, others in several sections; some in all sections. The cover letter with this questionnaire states which section you are to answer. The groups of people who will be interviewed are: (1) SEOO Director (2) SEOO staff (3) State agencies (4) Federal, local government, private agencies (5) CAAs and poverty groups (6) OEO Regional Office staff -4- SEOO EVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRE (Continued) The references which are noted refer to OEO Instruction 7501-1, "The Role of State Economic Opportunity Offices", SEOO Form 81 and to the SEOO Work Program. D. PROCEDURES 1. Read the question and circle the word in the rating colum which you belive best states the judgement you would reach. Answer either "Yes/No/Don't Know" or "Good/Poor/Don't Know" depending on the question. You have to decide on one answer; you may not qualify it into the "maybe" area. 2. When the question asks for a LIST of items: (a) take a blank form (which we've called "LIST") (b) write in the Section # and Question # in the box. (c) fill out the filing information on the top of the form-- in case the page comes loose. (a) fill in the listed items as briefly as possible. 3. When the question asks you to DESCRIBE items in more detail - (a) take a blank form (which we've called "DESCRIPTION") (b) write in the Section # and Question #, in the box. (c) fill out the filing information. (d) write in the details briefly. Don't worry if the standard format of the blank form doesn't really fit what you want to write. 4. You may attach copies of any supporting documents you wish-- but do not expect them to ever be returned to you. E. THE ANALYSIS When all the questionnaires have been returned the answers will be tabulated. For example, out of 44 CAAs in the state, 34 responded. Of the 34, 20 said "good", 8 said "Poor", 2 said "Don't Know" and 4 didn't answer a certain question. Then the CAAs response will be compared with how the SEOO answered the question and how the Regional Office answered it. -5- SEOO EVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRE (Continued) Lists given by the SEOO and the various agencies will be checked against each other. Descriptions of items as written by one group will be compared against descriptions prepared by other groups. F. THE REPORT The report will of necessity emphasize how different groups perceive performance. Factual information drawn from the listings will give a view of actual performance. The descriptions of significant successes or failures, etc. will help gain an understanding of the quality of performance.
