Meeting Accountability Requirements + Measuring Student Achievement + Maximizing Results = A Formula for Success
In the current educational environment, accountability is more than a buzz word. What can you be doing to ensure that your FCS program meets accountability measures? Furthermore, the ability to provide reportable outcomes can assist with program visibility in your district and state.
Don’t wait for accountability data to be requested by your administration. Be proactive and find out what you can do now to not only make your Family and Consumer Sciences program effective but also to prove it!
Would you like to be able to gather data that can support your educational efforts?
Whether data is used to facilitate program or teacher accountability, to enhance student and program recognition, or to promote program improvement and effectiveness, it needs to be a core component of the FCS program—not an afterthought! As an FCS educator, you need to understand why program evaluation is so critical right now and what you can do with the results!
Learn how to evaluate your FCS program now and how to integrate assessment components for the future. Find out from a state level FCS program specialist, what characterizes a quality program, what might save it, or make it even more valuable. Hear from an FCS teacher who experienced success in demonstrating program effectiveness.
Discover dozens of ways to reach out and share data and successes with your key stakeholders and decision-makers—parents, communities, school boards, guidance counselors, administrators. After the webinar, you will know how evaluation feedback and results can be maximized to advocate at the local and state levels and to guide decisions regarding funding, curriculum and instructional improvements, and overall program effectiveness.
Program evaluation is relevant for educators in all states, regardless of varying district and state requirements.
