Abstract
The How to Guide is a hands-on manual about the formative types of evaluation that program developers and managers can use to improve the quality of their products and processes. It contains a step-by-step guide for evaluating small- to medium-size programs whose managers or sponsors want to know how their program is performing and how it can be improved. Such formative evaluation helps develop, improve, or “form” a program by assessing its content and products, and its processes and delivery.
This Guide was developed with input from a small group of experts who served as project team members with assistance from an Advisory Group comprised of driver education and evaluation experts from across North America. A 2-day consultative workshop, an online discussion board, a literature review, and a discussion paper were part of the How to Guide development. The Guide was developed especially for driving school operators and owners, program developers, and managers. There are two companion documents: Evaluating Driver Education Programs: Comprehensive Guidelines; and Evaluating Driver Education Programs: Management Overview.
