Instructions For Use

  1. The "Evaluation Matrix" tool will help you consider the most appropriate and feasible data collection method for each of the questions identified in your evaluation plan. (Remember that evaluation is different from assessment in that evaluation is focused on the effectiveness and worth of programs or products whereas assessment is focused on estimating student learning.)

  2. List your questions on the vertical side of the matrix.

  3. List the feasible data collection methods on the horizontal side of the matrix.

  4. Consider each question carefully and choose the most appropriate data collection method.

  5. To make your own matrix, copy the matrix below and paste it into a new ClarisWorks file using the "Drawing" option in the "New Document" dialog box.

  6. In the "Drawing" option, the elements of the matrix can be edited.
