Implementation of Curriculum

Collaborative Evaluation Led by Local Educators: A Practical, Print- and Web-Based Guide
This "print-based evaluation guide," available in PDF, provides a framework and process for local educators to use for continuous data gathering, sharing of findings, and planning for improvement. Designed especially for educators with limited background in evaluation, it leads the user through the stages of the evaluation process with guiding questions, evaluation task checklists, and corresponding Web-based resources.

As users of the guide consider their own project evaluation needs, they are encouraged to explore the accompanying "How-To" Web resources for each stage, where there is a detailed evaluation planning template and practical, step-by-step how-to's for evaluation tasks ranging from selection of data-gathering strategies to development of questionnaires and facilitation of community discussions of findings.

This guide was developed through the Northeast & the Islands Regional Technology in Education Consortium (NEIRTEC).
