| Summary: | This book provides guidance on developing an effective evaluation plan for adult English language programs, whether in the context of family literacy, workplace and workforce literacy, or general language development. With an emphasis on surveys, interviews, observation measures, and performance samples, the authors show how staff members and learners can gain accurate information about how well they are meeting their goals. Many sample assessment tools and examples of strategies for summarizing and analyzing assessment data designed to be easily adapted to specific classroom conditions are included. Chapter titles include the following: "Approaches to Assessment and Evaluation"; "Integrating Program Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation"; "Initial Assessment: First Step to Success"; "Assessing Progress: Are We Progressing?"; and "Collecting, Analyzing, and Reporting Alternative Assessment Results." Each chapter includes a concise summary, references, and practical examples. (Contains 34 additional resources as well as a glossary and a detailed index.) (KFT) |
