Revised October 2008
INTRODUCTION
The
Summary Evaluation Questionnaire was developed to assist in evaluating the
instructional processes of vocational programs. It is designed for use by both the local
teacher in conducting a comprehensive self-evaluation and by an external
evaluation team.
The questionnaire is divided into 11 sections, corresponding to the 11
standards of quality program operations. These standards or best practices have been
endorsed by the State Board of Career and Technology Education.
Each
standard is followed by a series of rating scale questions or Quality Indicators
that further define the standard. Some questions are identified as State Board
Rules, and these questions must be met in order to meet the standard. The Quality
Indicators may vary among occupational divisions due to unique consideration
within those divisions. The sum total rankings of the State Board
Rules and Quality Indicators below each standard will serve as a ranking of the
standard. The
ranking of each standard and the corresponding narrative section will be
recorded and reported in the final evaluation report.
DIRECTIONS
Evaluations using this instrument should strive to rate the
Quality Indicators for each program evaluated in relationship to the
standards.
Comparing one vocational program with another may result in distorting
evaluative information and is highly discouraged.
Questionnaire Rating
To
complete the questionnaire, carefully read each standard and the Quality
Indicators that follow. Questions related to State Board Rules are
enclosed in a shaded area and are grouped at the beginning of each
standard. For
each question, the evaluator should indicate if the State Board Rules are met or not met by marking the
appropriate box in the column on the right.
o
Met
o
Not
Met
All other Quality Indicators are assessed by circling the
appropriate rating in the column on the right. The numbers on the rating scale indicate the
following:

5=Outstanding
Exceeds Standard
4=Above Minimum Standard
![]()
Meets Standard
3=Meets Minimum Standard

2=Below Minimum Standard
Falls Below
Standard
1=Poor (Major Improvement Needed)
Suggested Activities for Evaluator
For each standard, there is a suggested list of documents to
review or activities to perform as the evaluator rates the standard. The evaluator should
use these suggestions as a guide but not as a limitation in reviewing the
program.
Narrative Comments
The Comments Section of the questionnaire should be used to
note specific program characteristics for which recommendations or commendations
need to be made.
Items rated below standard should be accompanied by realistic statements
on how they can be improved. These notes should be used to write the
Commendations and Strengths Section, the Specific Recommendations for
Improvement Section, and the General Suggestions for Improvement Section at the
conclusion of the evaluation (see pages following Standard 11.)
Scoring
Totals (Evaluators Only)
To determine if a standard is met, the evaluator should:
1
Determine if all State Board Rules are met.
2
a Sum the ratings in
the column on the right to find the total points.
b Compare the Total
Points to Minimum Points Needed to Meet the Standard as stated at the end of the
standard.
c If any questions were
not applicable, use the chart at the end of the standard to determine the
Minimum Points Needed to Meet the Standard. (The Total Number of Questions Rated should
include the questions related to State Board Rules.)
Example
Sum the ratings in the preceding columns ...........................................................................................
45 Total Points
In order to meet the standard, all State Board Rules must be
met and the total points must equal or exceed 36___
If any questions are not applicable, the chart below can be
used to determine the total points needed to meet the standard. (The Number of
Questions Rated should include the questions related to State Board Rules.)

INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING AND ORGANIZATION
STANDARD ONE
The instructional program should be designed to impart
knowledge and develop skills that are essential for success in meeting the
students educational objectives. There should be evidence that each
instructional unit has been properly planned and organized and is being
implemented in a sequential manner. The programs should implement a fairly
administered grading system that is based upon identified criteria.
The course of study for each program shall include both
theory and skill lessons along with other supplemental learning activities that
will serve to guide the program toward desirable learning outcomes. In addition, the
course of study shall be integrated and organized in such a manner as to effect an overall well-balanced program
of instruction.
Levels of Assessment Interpretation of Level
4 Excellent
Exceeds program standards.
3 Good
Meets program standards. No need for additional technical assistance at
this time, although some areas, as indicated, could be improved.
2 Needs Improvement
Generally falls below
program standards. Demonstrates limited effectiveness; additional technical
assistance and/or resource utilization is needed for improvement.
1 Poor or Missing
Evidences little or no effectiveness. A great deal of technical
assistance and/or resource utilization would be an immediate need.
N/A Not Applicable Does not apply to the program being
reviewed.

PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS
STANDARD EIGHT
An effective and continuous program of community relations
is necessary to maintain a close working relationship with business, industry,
and other organizations and individuals, as well as to ensure that education is
relevant to the needs of students. The purpose of a community relations effort
is to inform the public of the programs operations and capabilities and to
generate active participation in the development and implementation of the
programs goals.
Each program should actively strive to encourage community
involvement and to promote a greater understanding of the programs needs and
accomplishments.
In addition, each program shall have a formally organized program
advisory committee that is broadly representative of the school community and of
the business and industrial community it serves. Each local program shall maintain on file a
list of the names and occupations of the advisory committee members and the

placement, and follow-up records on all students who have enrolled in programs. These records must
be maintained in accordance with divisional requirements and reported as
requested to the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education.
In exploratory programs or in programs where students move
