| Abstract:
A need was identified at a large, public, US university to determine the level of satisfaction of students and faculty in a Counselor Education graduate program. There is a wealth of research available regarding the evaluation of K-12 programs. However, there is limited information regarding the evaluation of higher education programs especially evaluations applying the collaborative approach. This evaluation was conducted to identify students and faculty satisfaction level of the graduate program and to recognize the differences between evaluating a K-12 program and the evaluation of a graduate program. In order to identify the needs and concerns of all relevant stakeholders, a Collaborative Evaluation approach was utilized. We will discuss how the process and procedures of the collaborative approach were implemented and strengths and challenges of utilizing this method in evaluating a graduate program will be addressed.

| Abstract:
This presentation will discuss a collaborative approach to developing effective evaluation instruments with key stakeholders carrying out a federal education grant. The main goals of the grant are to increase teacher content knowledge in U.S. history, enhance teacher practice, and increase student learning. The presenter has seven years of experience evaluating these federal grants designed to provide professional development for history teachers, and continues to explore new methods to effectively measure teacher outcomes. The evaluation approach, which consists of both qualitative and quantitative methods, is collaborative in nature. The evaluator employs an approach that involves not only project leaders but also the teachers involved in the program.
