Fall 2011: evaluating research about education programs for students with special needs

AERO members participated in a Special Interest Group (SIG) designed to allow school board researchers to discuss the research and evaluation process related to programs and services for students with special needs. Topics included:

• How do you determine whether programs/services for students with special needs are appropriate,  effective and equitable? 
• What resources are used when evaluating these programs/services? 
• What resources do you need to better evaluate these programs/services? 
• Are there demands for this type of research/evaluation in your organization? 
• What obstacles may prevent you from implementing the proposed research/evaluation process in your organization?
