Helping researchers identify and respond to project challenges

Evaluations that provide evidence-based insight into computing education

Our clients want to obtain external funding for their projects in a highly competitive environment. Their proposals need a solid evaluation plan to be awarded funding. We have an extensive track record of providing evaluation plans that help computing, engineering and education professionals obtain funding for their research.

Once our clients have been awarded funding they need to demonstrate to funders and other stakeholders how well they are meeting project goals, achieving objectives and producing desired outcomes within budget. Even when completely unexpected challenges arise. We prioritize obtaining you information you can use to make good decisions and minimize disruptions.

Our clients are special people; you care about conducting research and having a positive impact on society. Using a variety of strategic evaluation methods, we provide you with well-supported and actionable information so you can maximize your effectiveness and impact.

As members of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Education Council, I have known and worked closely with Dr. Kaczmarczyk since 2007 on various computer science education and policy endeavors of national scope. In particular, she served as the researcher and writer for the ground-breaking ACM Education Policy report, “Rebooting the Pathway to Success: Preparing Students for Computing Workforce Needs in the United States.” This report contains empirical data from all 50 states, and served as key evidence to effect a pivotal change in U.S. national policy about computer science education. With her strong interdisciplinary background in computer science, and science education, along with her many years of research and evaluation experience, Dr. Kaczmarzyk is distinctively qualified. I highly recommend Dr. Kaczmarczyk, and welcome the opportunity to work with her expert consulting firm again!

We have engaged the services of Dr. Kaczmarczyk to assist us in the design, development, and widespread implementation of evaluation plans for our federally funded, multi-year computer science education project. Over the course of the past five years, Dr. Kaczmarczyk has demonstrated valuable expertise in the coordination of data collection, analysis and redesign of evaluation plans. She provided us with timely reports containing objective formative as well as summative cross-institutional assessment of our project activities that assisted our team (and our funding agency) in demonstrating the overall impact of our project. We recommend her highly and continue to engage her expertise for all our future projects.
