The role of program evaluations in improving and sustaining state-supported school counseling programs: A cross case analysis of best practices

Ian Martin, University of Massachusetts Amherst

Abstract

Recent work has shown that many state supported school counseling programs have not developed working statewide program evaluation schemas. This study examined two exemplary examples of state level program evaluation. Mixed-method case studies were created and then analyzed across cases to reveal common themes and best practices. The findings indicated that these cases were able to build statewide evaluation capacity within very different contexts.
