Program Evaluation

This high-quality component encompasses an ongoing process to improve student outcomes and should be completed annually.  A district's program evaluation should involve internal reflection and evaluation of current practices in order to identify areas of strength and opportunities for growth as a means for continuous improvement of their Pre-K program.

To support districts in evaluating their programs, TEA has created the following: 

• Early Childhood Program Assessment Guide

• Program Self-Assessment for Prekindergarten

These are supporting documents.  Districts may use the self-assessment provided by TEA, or they may utilize a different tool.  At a minimum, districts must use student progress monitoring data to evaluate their program.  

There are webinars available to support districts in completing program self-assessments, as well.
