You don′t need to use complicated statistical procedures or fancy research techniques to design, organize, and conduct useful evaluations of your school′s mathematics programs. This guide combines the ease of a do-it-yourself manual with the authority of true experts in the field of educational evaluation. Equipped with this practical manual and an understanding of the importance of evaluation, school administrators can: *Assess the overall quality of the math curriculum *Improve funding by demonstrating student needs *Track enrollment trends and determine the underlying causes *Determine the necessary remedial action to improve test scores This book is part of a seven-volume series for evaluating programs and services in today′s K-12 schools. The "master plan" for this series is found in Evaluating School Programs: An Educator′s Guide by James R. Sanders.
