quality of the workshop and support received during follow-up activities. Finally, an analysis of program documents will provide
insight into the schedule of activities that took place during and following the workshop and if they aligned with the program plan.
The summative evaluation report will help answer the following questions: To what extent were teachers able to develop PBL
modules that were connected to local business and industries, aligned with NSSM, and incorporated appropriate uses of technology?
And, To what extent were teachers able to implement and evaluate those modules? The first question is based on the first 3 objectives
and the second question is based on the 4th objective. The data sources that will be used for the outcome evaluation will be the
Module Evaluation Rubric, NSSM Standards and participation surveys. Great Southern faculty will use the results from the evaluation
report to help teachers continue to refine their PBL modules after the workshop. The timeframe for refinement of the PBL modules
will be July 2, 2015 through July 20, 2015. Communication between the Great Southern faculty and teacher participants will be
electronic. Once modules have been finalized, teachers will implement them and conduct a self-evaluation of the implementation. In
the fall of 2015, Great Southern faculty members will meet with teacher participants for a mid-implementation meeting to discuss
questions and concerns related to the PBL modules. In the fall of 2015, a final meeting between the project staff and teacher
participants will be scheduled to discuss teacher self-evaluations, implementation and to identify best practices.
