Could anyone kindly give me some suggestions about what skills can be used to effectively understand the context of the program while communicating with the administrators?

Welcome for further questions! I am really glad to be helpful as well.

Thanks so much for your advice! It sounds really helpful.

One useful skill is to make notes. The oral agreements between evaluators and administrators should be followed up with memos outlining the discussions and the evaluators’ understanding of the agreements in case of misunderstanding, mess memory and disagreements occur later.
