Comprehensive Guidance Program Evaluation: Introduction

This presentation provides you with an overview of the evaluation process for comprehensive guidance and counseling programs--a process that includes program evaluation, personnel evaluation and results evaluation.

Program Evaluation: Determining the Level of Implementation

Counselor evaluation photoThe first aspect of evaluation asks the question, "To what extent is the guidance and counseling program fully implemented?"   Fourth Cycle MSIP Standard 6.9 begins to address this question by outlining the necessary and essential components of a guidance and counseling program that is integral to the total educational process.

School counselors and administrators should first determine if the components are in place.  The MSIP Checklist and the PowerPoint presentation, How to Conduct a Fourth-Cycle MSIP Review for Standard 6.9: Guidance help to address this question:

Once it is determined that the program components are in place, it is important to determine the degree of implementation. For example, there may be a guidance curriculum in place, but to what extent is it being delivered to students? The "Internal Improvement Review (IIR)" allows you to take an open and honest look at the degree to which their comprehensive guidance and counseling program is being implemented. The links below provide access to the IIR and to a presentation that guides you through the IIR process. The end result is an action plan for you to follow that will lead you toward a more fully implemented comprehensive guidance and counseling program.
