In this preconference session at the ATE PI Conference, ATE project and center leaders and their evaluators will discuss common challenges and promising practices associated with evaluating ATE projects and centers. The facilitated dialogue will take place in a small-group/roundtable format, with participants selecting the topics of most interest to them. Experienced ATE evaluators will share their real-world experiences, lessons learned, and examples as a means to stimulate conversation, innovative thinking, and practical problem-solving around evaluation issues among all participants.
