Evaluation Toolkit

EVALUATION TOOLKIT

At NSTTAC, we are committed to data-based decision making and we view evaluation as a tool for improving our work. For some, the idea of evaluation and data analysis can be an overwhelming task-we created theNSTTAC Evaluation Toolkit with that in mind! We want to assist transitioneducators and service providers to improve their programs and services by determining what is working, what is not working, and what needs changing or replicating. This toolkit will show you how. It provides specific examples for state and local teams who are developing goals and activities for providing effectivetransition education and services for students with disabilities. It is designed to help you 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 your findings.

If you would like to make your own Evaluation Toolkit notebook, you will need to download the cover and spine label both of which you will need to print. From the following list below, select and download the items that you would like in your toolkit.
