Evaluation Worksheet

PART I  -  PROCESS/IMPLEMENTATION EVALUATION

Please list three major implementation strategies that already are in place in your school/organization.  Then beneath each one, list how you could actually evaluate (1) if it is actually being done and (2) how completely it is being done (Fidelity).

Strategy	Evidence of Implementation	Evidence of Fidelity
1. Home Visits	Do we do them each year?	Is every child visited without judgment for their home circumstances?
2. Unstructured Time	Is there time in the day for teachers to have time with students without it being tied to academic classes?	Do 100% of students surveyed identify adult they can go to with their challenges?
3. Teachers at doors during passing period	Do we see teachers at doors or in hallways during passing periods?	Are at least 30/35 teachers at their doors or in the hallway during passing period?

PART II – CLIMATE/CULTURE EVALUATION

Think back to the different dimensions of climate/culture that we discussed previously in class.  Pick three aspects that you want to assess in your school.  Then list them below and consider what might be evidence of each.

CLIMATE/CULTURE VARIABLE	EVIDENCE #1	EVIDENCE #2
1. Involving teachers in decisions	How many decisions were made in the last week? How many decisions got valuable input from teachers?	How many problems that needed decisions were surfaced by teachers and acted upon?
2. Involving students in decisions	How many decisions were made in the last week? How many decisions got valuable input from students?	How many problems that needed decisions were surfaced by students and acted upon?
3. Prioritization - This is a school of…	When asking adults what we are a school of, how many give the response we think they should?	When asking students/community members what we are a school of, how many give the response we think they should?

PART III  -  OUTCOME EVALUATION

Think of four outcomes of your character education initiative.  These should be aspects of the development of character in students; e.g., your core values/strengths.  List them below and then list what might be ways to assess if they are changing; what we want here are examples of evidence of their existence and growth.

OUTCOME	EVIDENCE #1	EVIDENCE #2
1. Climate surveys	Increased participation	Increased scores of climate
2. Kindness	Reduction in ODRs	increase in teacher feelings of support from colleagues and administration
3. “I have a champion”	Students identify who their champion is at school	Teachers identify who they are championing.
4. Culture of Safety and Belonging	Teachers report that they feel like they belong at our schools	Students report that they feel like they belong at our school.
