Evaluating

"How will we know if it's working and what do we do if it's not?" The program will be a pilot program starting with ninth grade. The following methods will be used to evaluate the program on a short and long term basis or both.

· LoTI levels of teacher performance (both) · Measure of hits on server for preferred software usage (both) · Technical Support Documents (both)
 * Monitored by District Technology **

· Student achievement on state tests (both) · Staff Development Records (both) · Classroom Walk-throughs (short term)
 * Monitored By Administrators **

· Quality of Student work · Number and types of distant learning sessions (both) · Number and type of parent/Community learning experience (both)
 * Monitored by Teachers **

At specific checkpoints the Implementation Committee will monitor results from evaluative tools to see 10-20% improvement. If an increase in achievement has occurred then teachers will be encouraged to keep doing what they’re doing. If the program doesn’t seem to be working or moving slowly, teachers will be given specific guidelines and expectations for them to follow concerning implementation. This could even include an incentive program for teachers with a reward. Another modification could be additional trainings provided for teachers and students after school.
