The evaluation includes a systems change model and an elegant way of designating outcomes as robust, solid, probable and possible. Outcome evidence is provided to support the categorization of the outcomes. There is also a very interesting section on administrative leadership. Please note that this is a SIG rather than SPDG report. As such, some of the outcomes are a bit dated (e.g., participation in assessment) given the passage of NCLB.<a href="#related"> </a> <hr align="left" width="350" /> <a id="pres3" name="reports"></a>Evaluation Reports and Tools Reports <blockquote> California: <a href="http://www.calstat.org/evaluation.html" title="blocked::http://www.calstat.org/evaluation.html">http://www.calstat.org/evaluation.html</a> Wisconsin: <a href="http://www.wispdg.org/wisconsinsig" target="_blank">http://www.wispdg.org/wisconsinsig</a> To view these reports Scroll down the page to the heading "For additional information, please select the following links."

The California evaluation team adapted the PBIS TIC/SET approach that sites are already familiar with, but the content of the questions is quite different. They also developed a much more extensive Site Action Plan instrument with questions that guide sites in the development and implementation of ERIA. Finally, they put together a ‘stages of development diagram’ that helps sites focus on what needs to happen at each phase. <a href="/content_page_assets/content_page_12/ERIA_TIC_SEp07.docx">ERIA Site Team Implementation Checklist (TIC)</a> (Sep. 2007) <a href="/content_page_assets/content_page_12/ERIA_SAP_Sep07.docx">ERIA Site Action Plan (SAP) and Updates</a> (Sep. 2007) <a href="/content_page_assets/content_page_12/ERIA_SET_Sep07.docx">ERIA Schoolwide Evaluation Tool (SET)</a> (Sep. 2007) </blockquote> <blockquote> Vermont <a href="/content_page_assets/content_page_12/VTRtIImplementationChecklistSep07.docx">RtI Fidelity of Implementation Checklist in DRAFT</a> (Sep. 2007) </blockquote> <blockquote> Illinois Following up on "sharing our tools" topic, the tools that we are developing in Illinois are available at: <a href="http://www.luc.edu/cseit/aspireprogramcoordinator.shtml">http://www.luc.edu/cseit/aspireprogramcoordinator.shtml</a> </blockquote> <hr /> <a id="pres4" name="related"></a>Related Resources <ul type="disc"> <li> <a href="http://www.tadnet.org/model_and_performance">Logic Models</a> The Center for Evaluation and Education Policy (CEEP) has created to Voice-over PowerPoint presentations for OSEP: (1) How to create and use logic models, and (2) How to create high quality objectives and performance measures.</li> <li> <a href="http://www.emstac.org/resources/eval.pdf">A guide for education personnel: Evaluating a program or intervention</a>.
