Summary: Programme evaluation
- Programme evaluation is a necessary aspect of gifted education. It should examine all programme components by using a variety of methods and by involving the entire school community.
- Programme evaluation must have a clear purpose, be supported by a comprehensive written plan, and be designed to make changes or adjustments to programmes according to outcomes.
- Programme evaluation should be both formative and summative, fitting the evaluation to the programme, not the other way round.
