Instruction
You will be provided a copy of a program evaluation and you will provide a critique of the study. The questions you should address are listed below. Critiques will be uploaded to Turnitin. The critique should be a minimum of 6 pages (excluding title page and evaluation plan worksheet), typed, doubled spaced, in a 12 point font, and with one-inch margins.
Questions
1.What was the purpose of the evaluation and who commissioned the study?
2.What are the questions addressed in the evaluation?3.Is the evaluation formative or summative? External or Internal?
4.What evaluation approach(es) are used by the evaluators?
5.What conclusions and recommendations do the evaluators make and are they valid/supported based on the design, data collection and results?
6.How useful do you think the evaluation is to administrators and staff?
7.How would you improve the design of the evaluation? Include at least one new/additional evaluation question you would ask.
8.Based on your response to Question #7, complete an evaluation plan similar to those suggested on page 355-357 of the text (a template is provided along with the class materials, as well as completed example)
You should spend the most brain power on #5 thru #8 and as much space as possible on #7. I am most interested in your thoughts and criticism. If you find that you have no suggestions for improvement, you may want to pick another evaluation. It doesn’t have to be a ‘bad’ evaluation, just one where you have suggestions for improvement.
