Stakeholders
Who are they?
Stakeholders exist at several different levels of a program or policy, and it's important to think deeply and consider people at all levels.
For an educational program, it's important to think about the people who benefit from or receive the program. In education, this is most likely students, but it can also be teachers, administrators, and support staff. Additionally, stakeholders include program providers, as well as program funders.
Stakeholder
Who & What Counts?
Two key thoughts to consider when thinking about your stakeholders is that when we identify stakeholders we're really defining who and what counts. We're identifying those people that are absolutely necessary to the conduct of the program. We're defining the people that will actually benefit from the program and who will be the ultimate users of the information from the evaluation.
Why should we conduct a stakeholder analysis?

How do I identify and work with them?
What about turnover?
Stakeholder Activity
While being committed to honoring several types of stakeholders is important, it is also important to be realistic and anticipate turnover. This anticipation is needed to support planning for any issues that may arise from turnover; for example, planning may entail having adequate onboarding protocols for new stakeholders.
Pay attention to what one of the readings calls tipping point connectors. So often in a program or organization people with the highest level of power or decision-making ability might not actually be the best informant to learn about the program’s implementation or outcomes. Instead, nurturing interest in the evaluation by including multiple voices—by those who are affected by the program and its evaluation—is equally important.
Identifying key stakeholders helps you decide the pacing or the progression of your product or program implementation. Identifying who are the key actors, when they should be involved, and how they should be involved are core components of planning out the implementation of a program.
