Statement of Evaluation
The West Side Gifted and Talented Program is evaluated annually in areas that are relevant to student learning and success. This evaluation and the pursuant plan of action are based on program goals and objectives. All components of the program are evaluated, including identification processes, program options, community involvement, teacher and student resources, staff development, program expenditures, curriculum and evaluation processes. Evaluation information is gathered through a variety of sources such as interviews, focus groups, and surveys.
Evaluation reports are generated and disseminated to the Arkansas Department of Education, Office of Gifted and Talented, as well as to the Superintendent of Schools and other appropriate audiences.
