One of the primary reasons for evaluating a school or district improvement program is to learn the extent that a program is successful in producing intended program outcomes, most often student achievement gains. However, there are a number of other reasons for designing and carrying out an evaluation plan for a given district or school improvement program. These include clarifying the program’s theory of change, confirming that program activities are being implemented, and identifying a program’s areas of strength and weakness. These elements are essential to promoting the success of a program by focusing on the expected short- and long-term outcomes for program activities and the progress being made toward attaining them. Program Evaluation 101 participants will explore these issues by engaging in activities derived from typical district and school program planning and evaluation contexts. Learn more
