Program Evaluation

Program evaluation is the systematic process of gathering and analyzing information about some aspect of the school program in order to make a decision or to communicate to others what is happening in a program.

By its nature, Sheep Production 10, 20, 30 can accommodate the interests and needs of each individual student.  The course also depends on the co-operation of farmers-trainers.  Although assessment is time-consuming, the course should be assessed regularly to ensure that:

·        the program is meeting the needs of the individual student

·        the co-operating farmer-trainer/student relationship is successfully operating

·        the program provides meaningful awareness, adequate exploration opportunities, and relevant experiences.

Techniques for gathering and analyzing information on the course are anecdotal records and interviews as well as surveys at various times of the year.  The information that is gathered can be used to make decisions about the program in future years.
