Foreword

Why Evaluate?

Program evaluation is one of the most powerful tools available to a project manager. It can be used to assess whether a project is being implemented as planned. and to assess the extent to which stated goals and objectives are being achieved. It allows project staff to answer the question,"Are we doing for our students what we said we would?"

Evaluation data, therefore, can provide the basis for planning and decision making relative to program improvement. This manual has been prepared to provide project directors and evaluators of vocational and adult education programs with suggestions and guidance for planning and carrying out such an evaluation.
