Magnet School Evaluation Guide

This guide is a valuable resource for helping you ensure an effective evaluation of your magnet program, whether funded by grants from the Federal Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) or other funding sources.

The guide provides practices and norms for the planning and early grant phases that will help strengthen your evaluation. It describes the systematic phases of an evaluation, provides examples of what that evaluation may look like, and ways to ensure the evaluation is rigorous. Finally, the guide covers how to successfully learn from your evaluation to improve the implementation of your magnet program and equitably disseminate the evaluation findings.

For MSAP grantees, there are additional recommendations in this guide to help you self-assess your current evaluation plan or guide you in selection of an evaluation partner.
