Two-Level Evaluation Strategy for Projects Engaged in Staff Development.

A two-level model was formulated for the evaluation projects engaged in staff development in the Memphis elementary schools. The model takes into account that such projects are responsible for direct outcome in terms of teacher behavior, and indirect outcome in terms of pupil behavior. The two-level model provides an opportunity for assessing the validity of the theoretical base underlying the project's objectives, and provides for process as well as outcome evaluation. (Author)
