EDUU 697 Signature Assignment
Program Evaluation
(99 points)
As a BCBA, you are responsible for training your staff and implementing programs with fidelity. In your midterm assignment, you described how you are going to train and support staff as they acquire and implement behavioral interventions. In the signature assignment, you will develop a system for evaluating the success of your staff development efforts by determining the overall success of your program. The overall success of a program is determined by variables you will select. For example, variables might look very different if you are evaluating a private organization delivering home based services, a center-based adult-life skills program, or a school-based program. The overall purpose for your evaluation is to determine if your program is being
implemented with fidelity resulting in
positive program outcomes for children/clients and a
supportive work environment. You should use the materials provided for you in this course to support your plan.
Elements to address in the paper. Each bullet point should be a section header for your paper.
· Description of the program goals (Should link to the Mission Statement you developed in week 1 and identify stakeholder)
· Staff skill at delivering programs (think implementation fidelity
· Staff accountability (think professional behaviors, quality of data and record keeping)
· Staff development and professional growth
· Program activities (e.g., parent training, paraprofessional training, staff meetings, sufficiency of supervision sessions)
· Client/student outcomes
For each element of the evaluation, you should identify and/or report each of the following:
· The criteria to assess
· Data that you will use to assess those criteria
· Actions to take following assessment (e.g., should remediation be called for)
· What skill sets are they measuring staff on
· Impact of the element (e.g., see Miller 2016 in week 7 folder)
