3. MiBLSi Project Evaluation Team Anna Harms Evaluation Coordinator Ed Huth Data Analyst Nicole Matthews Data Entry Jennifer Rollenhagen Measurement and Evaluation Specialist • Evaluation contributes to Project by: • Developing and providing resources to enhance local capacity related to measurement and evaluation, consistent with the implementation research. Evaluation supports the competencies and capacity necessary for implementation specialists and local districts to engage in effective data-based decision making as part of an integrated behavior and reading RtI model. • Reporting on program activities and project outcomes to evaluate and improve effectiveness and efficiencies of the project to ensure value added to consumers and stakeholders. This is accomplished by implementing Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles.

4. Several Purposes of MiBLSi Assessments • Audit • for “taking stock” of current strengths/weaknesses and action planning • Formative evaluation • for improving program while it is in the process of being implemented • Summative evaluation • for improvement of future reiterations
