Our diverse and caring community will ensure all students the opportunity to develop an educational foundation that empowers them to create their future.
Program Evaluation is a systematic, purposeful process of studying, reviewing, and analyzing data gather from multiple sources in order to make informed decisions about a program. Program Evaluation is the practice of district individuals and teams engaging in critical examination and analysis of their work to discover what is working and what is not in order to redefine their work and to improve its results (Killion, 2009: Revised).
The purpose of program evaluation is: o To create an accurate picture and basic understanding of the program to be evaluated o To demonstrate how the program supports district goals o To review and analyze data for the purpose of improvement o To support, directly or indirectly, student achievement
Program Evaluation is a process not an event. It is a regular review of progress toward a set of goals and/or a set of essential questions. The process focuses our thinking on improvement and impact. It is a living process in that we regularly review progress and adjust our goals or essential questions as needed to ensure forward movement toward improved student achievement.
