  1. NCLB Program Evaluation

  2. Training Objectives • To provide consistency across the State regarding a process for conducting program evaluations for NCLB program administration, funding decisions and documentation • To provide a resource tool for conducting program evaluation to assess the fidelity of program implementation and impact on student achievement

  3.

Did the activity accomplish what was expected? If yes, why? If no, why not? • Recommendations: What are the committee's recommendations to continue, alter, or discontinue the initiative?
