[Ike] Evaluation reminder

[Weinand, Stacey]

Many of you are (or will) be conducting your IKE workshops.  As you do,
please keep in mind the information that you need to collect to include in
your final report next year.  In addition to the evaluation plan that was
presented in your proposal, you must also include the following information
which was specified in the RFP.

C.	Evaluation by Grantees

Each grant proposal must include a plan for program evaluation.  At the time
of final budget report submission, a final assessment report, based upon
this plan, must be submitted, before the remaining balance of the grant will
be paid.  At a minimum, this report should include:  (1) a description of
the activities undertaken; (2) an enumeration of the population served, with
special attention given to the access extended to private school personnel,
as well as representatives of historically underserved and underrepresented
groups; and (3) an objective evaluation of the effectiveness of the grant
activity as measured against the program's objectives established in the
grant proposal. Each project must also include the number of teachers who
teach in Title I school-wide schools, or in schools with high Title I
targeted assistance.  Identification of these schools is available through
the State Department of Education.  Institutions not providing the report or
any other reports required by the State Regents in accordance with the
federal regulations will jeopardize future funding opportunities from the
Eisenhower program.  At this time, copies of any publications or materials
that resulted from the grant should be submitted along with a summary
financial statement detailing revenues and expenditures by accounting
object.  Form ESEA SR00-01 will be used as part of this reporting process.


I would also encourage each institution to conduct an informal survey of the
participants on areas of need for future grants.  I would encourage you to
use this list serve to share these comments with me.

If I can be of assistance, please let me know.
