Description
Summary:The United States Commissioner of Education asked the Right to Read Office to develop a means to examine systematically existing reading programs or proposals for developing reading programs. This request reflected three needs: (1) to help communities develop reading instruction programs that meet the needs of learners within those communities; (2) to provide a framework for examining the development of reading programs, but leaving freedom for tailoring instruction to local needs; and (3) to provide a basis for consistent assessment of funded programs. The assessment scale has been so constructed that it could potentially serve as a device for self-study, for reading project planning, for project proposal review, and for a site visit to an ongoing reading program. Nine general areas of evaluation are included in the scale: management and planning; goals and objectives; instruction; staff; leadership development; materials and facilities; community involvement; environment and background; and program evaluation, auditing, and reporting.
