FACILITATORS: Jan Callis and Jon Good
Come see how the logic modeling process can be used to evaluate a selected district/school program and to plan for implementation and monitoring. Teams will gather and study evidence and use their findings to make adjustments to their programs and plan for 2020-21. Connections to the MDE Program Evaluation Tool (PET) will be explored. Time will be provided for teams to use the PET* to record what they have learned about their programs and the decisions that have made about next steps for program implementation.
*Per MDE"s recent memo on DIP/SIP Reporting dated Jan. 23, 2020, schools and districts may now "use either the PET in ASSIST or another process of their choosing as evidence of implementing program evaluation." Logic modeling can be the chosen process.
