EVALUATION PLAN
Reflecting upon the outcomes of the dual language immersion (DLI) program will lead to the identification of areas of strength in the program and areas for growth. Develop a DLI program evaluation plan with an outside evaluator to obtain feedback on the program to guide annual reflection and DLI program improvement.
- Create a DLI program evaluation plan
- Develop a timeline for the administration of the evaluation plan
- Identify an outside evaluator for an external DLI program review
- Local universities may be a good source of potential program evaluators
- There are often independent consultants that would be able to serve as the program evaluator, as well
- Community and district attitudinal survey
The program evaluator may recommend a survey of attitudes aligned with the DLI program rationale, vision, and mission of the following stakeholder groups:- Students in the DLI program
- Students not in the DLI program
- Parents of students in the DLI program
- Parents of students not in the DI program
- Teachers in the DLI program
