Colleagues: Here is a link to the final report from the five year SIG evaluation conducted by WESTAT: http://www.signetwork.org/westat_eval.html <http://www.signetwork.org/westat_eval.html> [Final report files are located at the top of the page].
The evaluation includes a systems change model and an elegant way of designating outcomes as robust, solid, probable and possible. Outcome evidence is provided to support the categorization of the outcomes. There is also a very interesting section on administrative leadership. Please note that this is a SIG rather than SPDG report. As such, some of the outcomes are a bit dated (e.g., participation in assessment) given the passage of NCLB. Feel free to give me a call should you have any questions. Larry 202.245.7571 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
