Social Construction of Reality - Bad Request

2. K-12 organizations should work together and with the American Evaluation
Association to investigate and implement a professional alliance of internal K-12
program evaluators
3. K-12 organizations should look beyond the confines of federal and state program
evaluation mandates to investigate the potential for intentional organizational
knowledge creation.
Collegial recommendations. The following recommendations are suggested as
considerations for other internal K-12 program evaluators.
1. K-12 internal program evaluators should consider utilizing the tools proposed by
this research, particularly the program evaluation involvement gradient and the
program evaluation-commissioning document.
2. K-12 internal program evaluators should work to ensure the procedural issues do
not beget issues in other areas of the organization. One way to do this is to
develop and utilize an in-house program evaluation manual.
3. K-12 internal program evaluators should study their organizations to identify
“evaluation champions” who are “willing to use their positional clout to
encourage involvement and model support” for program evaluation in general and
evaluation capacity building activities specifically (King, p. 49, 2007).
Future research recommendations. The following recommendations are
suggested for further research.
1. A comparative case study should be conducted at another school district.
