Evaluation Toolkit
“We want to assist transition educators and service providers to improve their programs and services by determining what is working, what is not working, and what needs to be changed or replicated. This toolkit will show you how. It provides specific examples for state and local teams who are developing goals and tasks to improve transition education and services for students with disabilities. The toolkit is designed to help determine what is important to your stakeholders, what needs to be measured to satisfy stakeholders, what is feasible to measure, how to measure these items, and how to report, disseminate, and use your evaluation findings.
The Evaluation Toolkit Appendices provide downloadable documents that can be edited for the user’s convenience. A complete pdf of the toolkit (prepared for double side printing) along with cover and spine are provided if you wish to print your own Evaluation Toolkit.”
