Tool Library

Welcome to the eeVAL Tool Library! After you have centered the Values and done the foundational work articulated in the first few Elements of the Evaluation Process, you should be well prepared to select tools that are well-matched to your program and participants. 

Environmental education occurs in many settings and with program participants that are equally diverse. There are no “right” tools. The best tools are ones that align with your project and multiple perspectives and methods of inquiry rooted in the cultures, histories, and traditions of the local context where an evaluation takes place. Below are examples of tools that have been used by EE practitioners. However, this list is by no means complete or exhaustive. 

As you choose a tool, reflect and consider whether the tool needs to be adapted for use in your setting and your program participants. Also consider ways to validate the findings with your program and community partners and to continually improve the tool, your process, and your program. Lastly, share what you learn with others!
