This document contains an evaluation checklist developed to assess home economic programs in Illinois in order to determine if they are conducive to meeting the needs of students enrolled in the programs. The quality indicators in this booklet were derived from the "Standards for Vocational Home Economics Education" published by the U.S. Department of Education. The indicators are designed to be used to assess the following program components: instructional staff, curriculum, instructional program, program philosophy, advisory council, administrative/supervisory staff, and funding. Each indicator contains evaluative statements that are suggested criteria by which to assess programs. All items are to be rated according to these indicators: "needs improvement,""satisfactory," and"excellent." (KC)
