Getting Started: Meeting Evaluation Standard E2
In 2017, NACEP approved a new set of standards including major revisions to the Program Evaluation Standards. Currently, NACEP requires all accredited institutions to provide documentation for two standards:
- (E1) The college/university conducts end-of-term student course evaluations for each concurrent enrollment course to provide instructors with student feedback.
- (E2) The college/university conducts and reports regular and ongoing evaluations of the concurrent enrollment program effectiveness and uses the results for continuous improvement.
The resources on this site aim to support institutions in conducting evaluations aligned to Standard E2. Below, you can find some general resources about program evaluation to help you get started.
NACEPEvaluationGuide9.16.19.pdfTo support the evaluation standards, NACEP developed a program evaluation guide. The purpose of this evaluation guide is to provide guidance on meeting and documenting the Evaluation Standards for NACEP accreditation. The resources throughout this website support components listed in the evaluation guide.
