1. Adult Literacy Volunteer Tutor Program Evaluation Kit (1989)
Authors: Audrey M Thomas
This is a self-study evaluation kit developed to help programs examine their practice, reflect upon it and try to see how things could be done differently in the hope that this reflection would lead to action and improved programs.
The evaluation is a participatory process that: encourages objective evaluation of the program; encourages upgrading of program conditions; suggests areas for growth; enables coordinators to focus on needs of tutors and learners; provides opportunities to plan ahead; promotes group spirit and discussion; provides a tool for in-service development; and provides a basis for program funding proposals.
