  Measuring Collaboration
  Collaboration and its effects can be difficult to define, observe, and measure. Based on an evaluation of the National Girls Collaborative Project, a project structured to bring organizations that serve girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) together to compare needs and resources, share information, and plan strategically, we will discuss the measurable aspects of collaboration and initial and expected outcomes stemming from the effort to encourage organizations to work together in more complex ways. We will look at a collaboration rubric, adapted from the work of Hogue (1993), Borden and Perkins (1988, 1999) and Frey, Lohmeier, Lee, Tollefson & Johanning (2004), developed to capture increasing levels of collaboration between different groups and discuss preliminary results. The rubric describes five levels of collaboration, based on Hogue’s Levels of Community Linkage model: networking, cooperation, coordination, coalition, and collaboration.
