Providing the funds for the program budget are currently the responsibility of OMA itself, relying on fundraising efforts and nominal fees collected from facilities and families of participants. There are organizational restrictions that prevent the ASC from providing further funding and allocating additional time and personnel. Evidence collected on client experiences is lacking, and data that has been collected has not been analyzed or maintained in a database. This is a potential future threat as many funding agencies need to see program evaluation frameworks and evidence that the program is meeting its intended

I enjoyed reading your post. As we have learned during this discussion board through our classmates, there are a plethora of different ways that can be used to evaluate programs. You gave numerous examples as to why program evaluations are important in early childhood education and why they are conducted in the first place. Another reason that program evaluations are conducted are to see if the program is working (Gilliam & Leiter, 2003). For instance, the Head Start Program at my school constantly makes changes to their program due to their yearly evaluation. If they see that something is not working, the head of the program tries to come up with different ways to change what is not working to try and make the program better for the students.
I have recently completed my master’s degree and I would like to publish an article on a given topic for Parker-Benson Publishing. The topic that I would like to have published is about evaluating standardized tests for a specific grade in kindergarten through 12th grade. Standardized tests are the kind of test which will require the children at kindergarten to be answering exact questions which can be compared to easy analysis. The children are passed in the same education system and later are evaluated using same questions which require same answers. Standardized tests help in improving the education system of any state. This article after I publish it I will show my acquired skills in communication and technical writing at the

Process evaluation aims at evaluating the effectiveness of a process or a system, which is in this case a shelter for homeless young women. The results of a process evaluation is used to derive policies for continuous process improvement.

Developing a program can be a difficult task to achieve. You have to take many things into consideration and think about short- and long-term operation of the program. To make a program successful you have to evaluated the program, and share program results to get feedback.

When I was told to watch a performance to write about, I had no idea where to go with watching something. I was stuck. But then I was thinking about it and thought, wait, what if I watch a performance art piece. It literally has performance in the name. This will work perfectly.

With dabbling upon what I had looked up, I came across Marina Abramović. She caught my eye because of her way of talking. It is so unique and captivating that I couldn’t choose anyone else to watch and write about. If only there was a way to write this paper with the accent Marina has.
