Why Is IDRA’s Research-Based Evaluation Important?
Through IDRA’s research-based evaluation work, educators and other program implementers can document project outcomes using qualitative and quantitative methods and improve future activities by clarifying what works, for which students and under what conditions. IDRA’s evaluation adheres to Program Evaluation Standards set by the Joint Committee of Standards for Educational Evaluation. How can IDRA’s evaluation help my district?
