Team-Based Inquiry evaluation capacity-building
Team-Based Inquiry (TBI) is a practical approach to empowering education professionals to get the data they need, when they need it, to improve their products and practices and, ultimately, more effectively engage public and professional audiences. The TBI process involves an ongoing cycle of inquiry: question, investigate, reflect, and improve.
- The Team-Based Inquiry Guide explains each step of the TBI process and features ways TBI is used in the NISE Network to improve educational experiences and professional practice.
- The Team-Based Inquiry Training Videos were designed to support museum practitioners in learning about and using TBI in their own institutions by describing this process and providing examples of how a team might work through the different steps.
- NISE Network Program Evaluation Tools includes guidelines and templates to facilitate program evaluation.

More evaluation resources and tools are available from Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) available at https://www.informalscience.org
