What Makes a School Evaluation Work?

Osterlind, Steven J.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v1 n1 p48-51 Jan-Feb 1979

A successful school program evaluation is re-examined to determine what made it successful. Suggestions for future evaluations include: (1) observe the political context of the program; (2) select a useful research design; (3) be sensitive to the subjects; and (4) discuss preliminary findings and be open to rebuttals.
