Request for Proposal to Consult CES members, chapters, groups and partners on the revised draft CES Guidance for Ethical Evaluation Practice

In the fall of 2017, the CES National Board of Directors mandated an Ethics Task Force (ETF) to review the existing CES Ethics statement and to propose revisions in line with current developments in the field and the needs of CES members. After conducting a scan and other research on ethics and values and holding several consultations (e.g., large chapter, CES conference, other), a draft document was produced. The Task Force arranged for an independent Ethics Reference Group to review the document.

CES - REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL to Develop an Instructional Design Plan to Update CES ESSENTIAL SKILLS SERIES

This request for proposal (RFP) is to conduct consultations and develop an instructional design plan to revise the foundational CES evaluation course, Essential Skills Series (offered in EN and FR). ESS is offered in-person and online through the CES e-Institute. The in-person version has not been updated since 2014. The e-Institute online version was updated in 2017.
