Reporting Summary

The data collection stage of an evaluation is "where the rubber hits the road" and you begin collecting the information you will ultimately analyze and report, following the guidelines set forth in the evaluation plan.

• Putting data management systems in place and implementing procedures to properly manage and secure the data.
