A Model for Evaluating Title 1 Programs.
Rost, Paul; And Others
Albuquerque's Title I evaluation staff is in the process of generating a comprehensive local evaluation design because it considers the federally required product evaluation unsatisfactory. The required mean-gain comparisons were extended beyond the dimension of program to the dimensions of school, grade, and Title I instructor. This evaluation effort is an attempt to sort out elementary program variables and at the same time confront the problem of inadequate controls. A summary of the first efforts at process evaluation is also made, and evaluation results for 1971-72 are given. Future evaluation will involve process evaluation for program activities and product evaluation to search for effective variables. Problems in implementing the evaluation design include: (1) lack of understanding and acceptance by school and program personnel of the role of evaluator; (2) the difficulty of persuading program personnel to specify measurable objectives and to permit adequate controls; (3) the fact that some of the most relevant variables, such as teacher effectiveness, are taboo; (4) inadequate programming and programmer time for data processing; and (5) inadequate dissemination of findings.
