Purpose

Overall, the purpose of the Oregon State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) evaluation is to consider the following:
  • Accountability and oversight (Were proposed activities conducted?),
  • Impact (Was there change in practices and outcomes?), and
  • Implications (What are the issues of sustainability and scaling-up?)

The Design

The evaluation methodology is guided by the principles that, to the greatest extent possible, measurement tools and data collection should:
  • Provide meaningful information for participating districts to guide decision-making,
  • Fulfill multiple reporting requirements, and
  • Not cause undue burden for any partners.

With all of this in mind

Measures and mechanisms have been established for the 2011-16 SPDG in order to provide a user friendly set of data for schools to accurately assess changes and progress (impact) pertaining to the implementation of academic and behavior supports.
