The Community Engagement and Partnership Inventory (CEPI): An Aspirational Open-Source Instrument to Assess Community-Based Global Learning Programs

Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, v30 n2 2024
As community-based global learning (CBGL) programs become more common on college/university campuses and utilize the UN's Sustainable Development Goals to guide programmatic outcomes, open-access evaluation instruments that both benchmark and effectively measure programmatic enhancements over time are needed. The 147-item Community Engagement and Partnership Inventory (CEPI) provides a comprehensive set of aspirational CBGL best-practice statements in an easy-to-use, assessment-friendly format, and the CEPI-SF (short form) offers an abridged 47-item inventory for evaluation strategies that do not require the level of detail offered by the full length CEPI. The CEPI provides a systematic evaluation of programs, applying the principles of critical global inquiry such that methods of administration and scoring can be flexible and tailored to program and institutional needs. The use of the CEPI as a tool for program planning, design, evaluation, and best-practice benchmarking is intended to support the long-term growth and sustainability of CBGL activities that prioritize the central tenets of Hartman's (2015) Fair Trade Learning model.
