Program Intervention Process. Specify appropriate comparison baselines. Ensure that program data are compelling given the expectations of the program's primary stakeholders. One cannot occur without the other. Furthermore, one should not expect to identify a program effect if program efforts have not been reliably and validly measured.
Effective assessment is an iterative self-diagnostic process.
It ideally involves continuous cycles of program improvement and refinement. More specifically, effective program development incorporates a feedback loop for ongoing program refinement. Actual Program Improvement Efforts. Identify changes already made in the program to improve the quality and effectiveness of its operations, e.g., modes of service delivery, staffing practices, policies, procedures, etcetera. Future Improvement Plans.
