Evaluation Toolkit Third Edition

At NSTTAC, we are committed to data-based decision making and view evaluation as a critical tool for improving our work. For some, the idea of evaluation and data analysis can be an overwhelming task – we created the NSTTAC Evaluation Toolkit Third Edition with that in mind! We want to assist transition educators and service providers to improve their programs and services by determining what is working, what is not working, and what needs to be changed or replicated. This toolkit will show you how. It provides specific examples for state and local teams who are developing goals and activities to improve transition education and services for students with disabilities. The toolkit is designed to help determine what is important to your stakeholders, what needs to be measured to satisfy stakeholders, what is feasible to measure, how to measure these items, and how to report, disseminate, and use your evaluation findings.

The Evaluation Toolkit 3rd Edition Appendices provide downloadable documents that can be edited for the user's convenience. The cover and spine are provided if you wish to print your own Evaluation Toolkit.
