Part 1

If you were going to evaluate a program or department at your place of work, what are some of the things you would look at to decide if it is running effectively? Why do you feel the items selected are an appropriate metric?

Part 2

Based on your answers to Part 1, how do your selected metrics align with Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of evaluation?

Do you think Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of evaluation would be an effective tool for evaluating learning in a K-8 classroom? Why or why not?

How can the Kirkpatrick model be aligned with the cognitive, affective, and/or psychomotor taxonomies to describe an evaluation plan for your projects? What extra descriptive guidance do you have in creating evaluations, when you add this model to taxonomic leveling?
