What are realistic goals, and how can they be achieved? The pressure to build and use reliable tools to assess collaborative services is growing, but there′s no reason to ′start from scratch′ when creating the processes and procedures you need. Here are time-tested instruments you need to evaluate the success of collaborative services, already developed and in use in large and small communities – and presented in a format that your school and district can immediately adapt and put into practice. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eMonitoring and gathering outcome data \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eAssessing student risk \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eAssessing program implementation and customer satisfaction \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eAssessing program results using qualitative and quantitative data \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e... as well as specific surveys for elementary, middle, and high schools, surveys for parents at different levels, examples of data collection formats, and much more.
