An external evaluation will measure the effective use of technology by the participants and its impact on school districts. The TAGLIT will be an important part of the evaluation. There will be product and process evaluation. The evaluation plan and design will establish benchmarks, monitor progress, and assess the impact of Technology Academy for School Leaders (TASL) on school and district leadership behavior. The following will be evaluated:

  1. success in meeting the Mississippi Administrator Technology Standards as evidenced by district/school leadership behavior, technology use, and other factors to be determined;

  2. successful completion of the academy as evidenced by the completed team project and surveys;

  3. effectiveness of transference of the competencies gained to the school/district environment as evidenced by interviews, documented leadership behavior, and success in meeting goals of the district plan; and

  4. extent of team success in defining problems/issues and developing solutions/strategies to address the problems. Formative and summative evaluations will be conducted throughout the course of TASL and beyond to fully evaluate the long-term impact of the program.
