Evaluation Lab Project ECHO Learning Community

The Evaluation Lab Project ECHO® Learning Community provides ongoing support and training opportunities for Summer Institute attendees. The Learning Community consists of videoconference sessions that are held throughout the year on the third Tuesday morning of each month (no meeting in December or January).  Participants present evaluation documents and progress with the Learning Community to receive feedback and guidance from peers and UNM Evaluation Lab students and faculty and hear from content specialists in special didactics during each session.

Sessions take place on Zoom every third Tuesday of the month from 9:00 am to 10:30 am, except in December and January. The Zoom link is made available only to those who have signed up to participate. If you are interested in participating, please email Audrey Cooper at aleanos@unm.edu.
