  1. A Local Evaluation Process for IMPACT

  2. Why Evaluate? • To realize and maximize your investment in technology • What sort of “difference” has all of this technology made? • What expectations have we established for higher performance? • To continue your school or district technology planning effort • Evaluation is a key component of ongoing technology planning! • It’s a required part of the IMPACT planning process

  3. IMPACT’s Local Evaluation Process

  4. It All Starts With Goals • What do you want to see happen? • These are your goals • Achieving these goals requires a process • Are you performing the process steps? • All of this can be measured through a formative evaluation

  5. Basic Process Steps • Create meaningful evaluation questions • Design relevant indicators • Organize those indicators in a performance rubric which can be used to measure progress and achievement • Collect data to score the rubrics • Create a report which applies the evaluation in a formative manner

  6. An Example Goal and Question • Goal: The school district will allocate technology resources effectively throughout the district to enable teachers to meet the needs of today’s learners. • Evaluation Question: How effectively has the school district allocated technology resources to enable teachers to meet the needs of today’s learners?

  7. Developing Indicators • What is it that you want to measure? • Impact on teaching and learning • Change • Progress towards desired outcomes • You need indicators for progress to be measured

  8. Indicators should reflect your district’s unique goals and aspirations • Rooted in your vision and goals • Indicators must be indicative of your unique environment...what constitutes success for you might not for someone else.

  9. Rubric Tips • Even number of levels • Create from ideal to lesser • Yes, Yes But, No But, No • Be as descriptive as possible • Do not get excessively quantitative

  10. Data Collection • Data collection is driven by your indicators • Not the other way around • Data collection instruments need to tie to the specifics of your indicators/rubrics • As questions that seek out terms and conditions specified in the rubrics • Triangulate • Gather different types of data - surveys, focus groups, observations - that all support the same indicators

  11. Conclusion • Evaluation is a key part of the IMPACT plan at both the local and state level • Not all evaluation is quantitative • Evaluation is not just a survey • You will create evaluation indictors that relate to each of the four IMPACT goals, or specifically, your district’s take on those goals

  12. Conditions for Success • Developed understanding the technology planning process and its value • Awareness building • Establish the need for evaluation • Establish a process • Leadership • Commitment to reflective process • The evaluation will only be as good as it is taken seriously
