Implementation Evaluation
The initial experience was implemented during the timeline that was planned. The follow
up activities were conducted during the timeline as well. Observations of the activities were
conducted during mid and post project meetings. Teachers also had to submit notes and
The quality of the initial program activities included a pre-session questionnaire that
allowed us to assess prior knowledge of the content that was being presented. This was followed
up with a post-session questionnaire that allowed the presenters to assess the quality of the
workshop.
The program participants were teachers that were recommended by Ms. Lawson. They
were recruited by email, word of mouth, and recommendations. The participants also had to
The follow up and support activities included the teachers having to write and submit a
lesson plan that demonstrated the material that was learned in the workshop. The notes were
submitted by the participants from each session, and their surveys were turned in.

Summative Evaluation
The summative evaluation will help answer the following questions addressed in the Summative
Table. Each question is aligned with a corresponding objective. The data sources that will be
used for the outcome evaluation will be the state and county assessments, mid and end of unit
assessments, and a rubric evaluating the alignment of NSSM standards and the incorporation of
available technology. Great Southern faculty will use the results from the evaluation report to
help teachers continue to refine their PBL modules after the workshop during the period of July 2
- 20, 2015. Communication between the Great Southern faculty and teacher participants will be
electronic via a Wiki. After the teachers implement the modules with their students and conduct
self-evaluations of the implementation, two post workshops will be conducted in January 2016.
