- The program evaluation is designed to help in the program improvement
process. This process may take from one to two days. In North Dakota,
the process is as follows:
- An evaluation form is sent to the ALC in advance so that a self-evaluation
may be conducted prior to the team visit. The completed form is
returned to the State Office prior to the visit.
- A team consisting of 3 to 6 members is selected based upon the
recommendation of the ALC to be evaluated.
- The team visits the program on an agreed upon date.
- Upon completion of the on-site visit, the team makes recommendations
for improvement. These recommendations are sent to the State Office
for the State Director's review.
- A draft report of recommendations is mailed to the ALC for review,
comment, and clarification.
- Upon review of the response/recommendation of the ALC, the State
will issue its final report of the findings of the evaluation team.
- The local program is expected to follow up on the recommendations
and develop a plan for implementation.
