Evaluation Plan
An evaluation plan provides an overview of all evaluation activities and their relationships to one another and to other activities. A good evaluation plan can help form the basis of a work plan for your evaluator and can assist you in managing the evaluation process. Your evaluation plan should be based on the evaluation section of your original application, your SS/HS logic model, and the federal reporting requirements previously described. The evaluation plan describes the following:
- The evaluation design: What evaluation method will be used; what data will be collected; how these data will be collected; and how these data will be analyzed.
- How the evaluation will be implemented: Who will collect data; when; what data will be reported to you as project director and other stakeholders, at what interval, and in what form.

Questions to Guide Your Thinking
- Does your evaluation plan align with your logic model?
- Does your evaluation plan include the required GPRA measures?
- Does your evaluation plan include at least one measurable and attainable performance indicator for each of the SS/HS elements?
Your evaluation plan should be reviewed by your FPO and disseminated to your partnership members. Your evaluation plan and data collection instruments may also have to be approved by an Institutional Review Board to satisfy Federal Protection of Human Subjects requirements and comply with the requirements of both the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
