Harrelson et al (2009) defines formal program evaluation as a “systematic collection of information about the activities, characteristics, and outcomes of a program to allow for informed judgements about program improvement, program effectiveness, and decisions about future programs.” For any program to be worthy of funding, a formal program evaluation is required (Ivanov and Blue, 2008). On the other hand, results-based management “involves identifying the impact of an intervention, formulating its outcomes, specifying outputs and inputs, identifying

First, would look at my measurement method to make sure that it is reliable and valid. Making sure that the measurements are representing the people and the program accurately, enough sample size is use to represent the program, and make sure there is no participants contamination. Second, the time from when the program started and when the evaluation process starts can also show that the program have no impact. It takes a long time for programs to work out the kink and bumps along the way and sometimes having an evaluation conducted within a year will not show the program at its full potential. There is also the sleeper effect where the program will not show impact until a much later time. Having an open and clear communication with the stakeholders will let me know what they are looking in the program evaluation so that I can focus on those aspects to make sure I use accurate

Mildly vs Strongly Argumentative Thesis An argumentative thesis will take a stand on an issue. Its purpose is to persuade the reader on the point of view in a similar way that a lawyer argues a case in the courtroom. In the instance of writers, they will use factual data and pertinent statements to persuade the reader. However to prove the side of the argument the paper needs to have evidence to support the claims so assumptions can be made (Behrens & Rosen, 2012).

In an effort to better serve clients in the counseling field, accountability in the form of evidence-based outcome measures has become an important component within the profession.

In this area, I will be using multiple aspects when it comes to evaluating my students, I know I will use DBRCs (Daily Behavior Report Cards) along with keeping track on when the misbehavior occurs. Another area I will be sure not to overlook is using what data is already available from the school, about my students. The video suggest " Don't overlook information that your school may already be collecting that can help you to directly or indirectly track student behavior", and I will make sure that I do not.

Implementation evaluation can be used if a new program is being started or if it is determined that an existing program initial goal is not being met (Mertens & Wilson, 2012). Utilizing implementation evaluation encompasses the following; responsive, monitoring, developmental, formulation participatory, and process (Mertens & Wilson, 2012).

Now that we have identified the outcome evaluation design we will need to determine the best method of capturing program data. Accurate program data is essential to establish program effectiveness and convey credibility of study findings. Once we have captured this data, our group will have to organize and present it in a manner that is easily understood by various groups of stakeholders with diverse educational backgrounds and agendas.

Being able to monitor and assess students learning is key in being able for students to learn content and achieve progress towards their individual IEP goals. I use pre-assessments, daily, weekly and monthly monitoring of student goals through various formal and informal assessments. Daily assessments in my classroom usually consist of observation and completion of in class assignments. Weekly or bi-monthly assessments of students include observations, in class work and simple review assignments. For example, I may have the student’s play a quiz or trivia game based on previously taught skills or lessons, depending on the student, subject or data I am assessing for. The assessment may be verbal, written or using some other form of communication, depending on the needs and abilities of each individual student. Other times, I may use a group project or exit slips to see what knowledge they have retained throughout the day, week, or unit. When conducting monthly assessments they are typically given as a direct task assessment of their IEP goals. Pre-assessments gives me an understanding of the student’s previous knowledge and determines a starting point of should begin teaching a new skill or goal.
