Reflections on Evaluating Teacher Centers: The View from an Iron Cow.
Patton, Michael Q.
This paper focuses on evaluation questions for teacher centers, with the emphasis being that the question is as important as the answer. The questioning may be ordered in nine points: (1) For whom are the questions and answers useful? (2) What effects are desired? How should teachers change after the program? (3) How will this change be observed/described/measured? (4) What are the success/failure criteria for change? At what level/degree are effects expected? (5) What activities and processes are to be used in effecting change? (6) How will the implementation of selected processes be observed/described/selected? (7) What are the success/failure criteria for process/activity implementations? (8) What is the relationship between processes and change? Is there a relationship? (9) What do the answers to the preceeding questions mean? What has been learned that gives a direction for action? When these questions have been answered, and a plan formulated to reflect those answers, evaluation may profitably begin. (MJB)
