Purpose

EvaluATE’s mission is to promote the goals of the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program by partnering with ATE projects and centers to strengthen the program’s evaluation knowledge base, expand the use of exemplary evaluation practices, and support the continuous improvement of technician education throughout the nation.

EvaluATE’s goals are to:

  • Ensure that all ATE PIs and evaluators know the essential elements of a credible and useful evaluation
  • Maintain a comprehensive collection of online resources for ATE evaluation
  • Strengthen and expand the network of ATE evaluation stakeholders
  • Gather, synthesize, and disseminate data about ATE program activities to advance knowledge about ATE/technician education
