ANSWER: Methods to use for interpreting evaluation results include identifying all possible explanations, examining the childs sociocultural context, comparing data with standardized data, and comparing outcomes with goals, objectives and standards. Methods used for using evaluation results include reflection on what to do with the evaluation results, making a plan for continued data collection, interpretation and change, balance what you might like to change with what is possible and implement your plans for change.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Evaluation is the process of determining whether the philosophy, goals, and objectives of the program have been met. Quantitative evaluation is defined as an evaluation approach involving the use and analysis of numerical data and measurement. Qualitative evaluation is typically conducted through interviews, observation, focus groups, portfolios and journals to determine the quality of the program. Formative evaluation is a method for judging the worth of a program or project while the program activities are forming or in progress. Summative evaluation is a method of judging the worth of a program at the end of the program activities (summation) or
end of a specific time period, such as a program year.
