ESEE

The UC Berkeley Service-Learning Center has developed the Evaluation System for Experiential Education (ESEE), a comprehensive system to assess the impact of service-learning on students, faculty, educational institutions, and communities, as a means to systematically assess the impact of service-learning, school-to-work, and community service programs on students' educational development.

This system was developed after five years of studying and reviewing assessments of experiential education programs. From the few good studies that exist, most, if not all have failed to fully capture the essences of the programs. For example, most of the quantitative studies have focused on assessing student development in one area (e.g., self-esteem or career development) and have ignored the other educational areas that simultaneously affect students. A number of other studies have been more qualitative in their approach. But, unfortunately, they have relied primarily on limited "end of the year" surveys or sporadic anecdotal data.

This evaluation system was designed to include most, if not all, of the components necessary for a rigorous study of experiential education programs. The system combines quantitative and qualitative assessment methods across six student development domains: academic achievement, career development, social development, personal development, civic participation, and ethical development. It is the only experiential education assessment system that includes the various important program variables (e.g., nature of student working groups, intensity of field experience, culture of the program, etc.) that affect student outcomes.

Evaluators from eleven different regional programs are currently developing and implementing evaluation processes for their community service programs serving suspended and expelled youth. In connection with these activities, they are meeting periodically to share techniques, resources, and conceptualizations of the evaluation of their program activities and outcomes.

The following resources are still under development but are being made available by the participating regional consortia to facilitate further discussion, understanding, and development of California's CSGP programs and their evaluation.

Logic Models:

• Sample Logic Model Template (SLRDC)
• Region 1 (North Coast) Logic Model
• Region 2 (Butte County) Logic Model
• Region 3 (Yolo County) Logic Model
• Region 4 (Alameda County) Logic Model
• Region 5 (Santa Cruz County) Logic Model
• Region 6 (Delta Serra) Logic Model
• Region 7 (Kings County) Logic Model
