Program Evaluation

As part of a comprehensive program evaluation, postsecondary education programs for students with ID may want to use surveys that are targeted at specific key audiences. This resource shares two surveys that were developed by Western Carolina University's UP Program - one targeted for college faculty who have taught students from the program and the other for employers that have provided a job or internship to students.  

This Highlights document was created with data from the Annual Report of the Cohort 3 TPSID Model Demonstration Projects (Year 1, 2020-2021) for those who are interested in the most critical statistics from the report, or are sharing with a broad audience. It features bold graphics and brief summaries of program and student data, including exit and post-exit outcomes.
