Program Evaluation and Development

Strong special education programs don’t rely on individual teachers—they’re built on systems that last. Our most impactful work happens when we combine thoughtful program evaluation with collaborative development, creating sustainable structures that support students and educators alike.

Whether you're looking for a comprehensive approach or focused support in one area, we can meet you where you are—helping you evaluate what’s in place, develop what’s needed, or both.

Program Evaluation:

Know What’s Working—and What’s Not

Our evaluation process helps you understand how your special education programming is functioning across classrooms, schools, and teams. Through a collaborative approach, we gather data from multiple sources to give you a clear picture of strengths and areas for growth.

Evaluation activities may include:

  • Reviewing IEPs and service delivery for patterns and missed opportunities

  • Analyzing current use of high-leverage and evidence-based practices

  • Interviewing teachers, educational technicians, administrators, and families

  • Observing classrooms and team meetings

  • Reviewing program descriptions, roles, and expectations

  • Assessing current data collection systems

The result: clear, actionable findings that highlight what’s going well and where targeted support could have the biggest impact.

Program Development:

Build a Stronger, Sustainable Future

Sometimes, teams already know where the gaps are—but need help closing them. We work with you to develop clear, aligned, and sustainable program models that make life easier for educators and outcomes better for students.

Development support may include:

  • Crafting or refining program models and descriptions

  • Clarifying staff roles and setting shared expectations

  • Designing practical and feasible data systems that drive instruction

  • Building in support structures for teachers and educational technicians

  • Facilitating collaborative planning and training systems

  • Embedding high-leverage practices across service delivery

Whether you're strengthening a single program or aligning services across multiple schools, our focus is on creating systems that outlast any one teacher or administrator—so everyone has the support they need to do their best work.
