The resonance between the two columns is particularly intriguing given none <strong>of</strong> the<br />

stakeholders were aware <strong>of</strong> the specifically articulated nature <strong>of</strong> process-use in<br />

evaluation, nor <strong>of</strong> the prominence <strong>of</strong> those four indicators within the concept. It can be<br />

concluded that the organization is posed to leverage evaluation capacity building as a<br />

mechanism to operationalize its efforts towards achieving an even greater commitment to<br />

excellence. Doing this may ensure that high quality evaluative thinking and evaluation<br />

practices are sustainable over time.<br />

Recommendations<br />

Recommendations can be divided into four categories: context driven, K-12<br />

arena, collegial and future research. These categories speak to four different audiences<br />

and canvas a wide-range <strong>of</strong> implications for individuals and organizations.<br />

Context-bound recommendations. These stem from the procedural and process<br />

categories and are specifically bound to the context <strong>of</strong> The School District.<br />

1. The School District should implement clearly articulated processes, tools, and<br />

procedures, such as the tools that were created as a result <strong>of</strong> this study (Figure 13,<br />

Appendix R, Appendix S). Moreover, The School District should determine<br />

whether or not it will deem the aggregate use <strong>of</strong> these tools tantamount to<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> a model.<br />

2. The School District should ensure MSIP, cycle four compliance and in so doing,<br />

reach a commonly held understanding <strong>of</strong> what does and does not constitute a<br />

program.<br />
