ILTS 206 Sub-Area 4 Practice Question #06
Which of the following steps should a program evaluation team take first as it begins the process of conducting a comprehensive evaluation of an early childhood program?
Program evaluations are essential to ensure that early childhood programs are providing the best quality services to children and their families. When conducting a comprehensive evaluation of an early childhood program, the team should begin by reviewing the program’s current philosophy, goals, and objectives.
This step must be done first to make sure that the program’s current content and services are aligned with then stated mission and vision of the program. This review will also help the program evaluation team determine if the current philosophy, goals, and objectives are still working for the program or if they need to be revised to meet current needs.
