Program Evaluation


The current climate strongly emphasizes accountability and data-driven decisions across all areas of education, from administration to curriculum.  Efforts to evaluate operations can be time consuming and challenging for staff.   Our evaluation services are tailored to the unique needs of your district and help you understand the processes and impacts of your programs, while meeting evaluation and reporting requirements and identifying strategies for improvement.

Our experience includes evaluations of student learning, professional development, use of technology, collaborations with community partners and other types of projects.  We can assist in evaluations of large-scale projects with extended time frames as well as small projects of limited scope.  We provide you with sound formative and summative data to show the effectiveness of your programs and help you plan for the future.

Well-designed evaluations produce good data that leads to better decisions.
