What Type of Assessment Experience is Needed to Use the Evaluation Tools?
No assessment experience will be needed to use the evaluation tools. The tools can be used as a starting point for assessment and planning and will guide novice users through an assessment and planning process. On the other hand, those with greater experience will be able to improve the efficiency or quality of their existing assessment plans by using the tools to generate new ideas or to simplify data collection and summarization. The tools will also generate documentation of the evaluation process, resulting in better records of decisions and findings over time.
