Pitkin County Health & Human Services
Purchase of Service Contract 2000
Basalt Family Resource Center
Addendum A
EVALUATION PLAN
Evaluation Purpose
The purpose of the Basalt Family Resource Center's evaluation plan is to measure the
extent to which our services positively impact the lives of Basalt students and their
families, as well as to assist in identifying areas of service which are not effective or in
need of modification. The Resource Center seeks to provide the most benefit possible
for our students and families, and a structured evaluation plan will provide us with the
feedback necessary to continually improve our service delivery.
Service Units
A unit of service at the Basalt Family Resource Center shall be defined as a contact
between the program director and a client seeking service. The client may be the child
attending the Basalt schools, the child's family member, a teacher/administrator, or a
community member. We currently track our units of service (contacts) and
demographic information about our clients through the use of hand-written intake
forms and progress notes. The Resource Center keeps records of client demographics
for the students we serve such as: gender, age, city and county of residence and
parents' employment, family income and insurance status, ethnicity, and grade level.
We have begun the process of transferring data regarding present and past students
served into a computer database, which will greatly improve our ability to determine
units of service per client, as well as to organize our data to reflect units of service
according to each of the demographic variables.
Service Unit Quality
The quality of our service units will be determined by whether or not a link was made
between a student and a community provider, and whether the student/family received
the needed service. While we currently are able to assess the quality of service in this
manner, with this type of information included in our computer database, the Resource
Center will also be able to report on any differences in service quality based upon
student characteristics such as gender, grade level, and ethnicity.
Service Outcomes
The outcomes for the service provided by the Basalt Family Resource Center will be
reflected in measurable, objective benefits to the student/family, which are also
observed by the student's teacher and other school personnel. Measurable data will be
gathered from teachers and parents using a reporting form, which will track the
student's changes and progress over the course of their involvement with the Resource
Center. The reporting form will help teachers, principals, and parents describe
specifically how they have observed the children to benefit from our services,
particularly in the areas of school and home behavior, academic performance, attitude,
and interactions with others. Through compilation of the school's and family's
responses, we will be able to report which services provided by the Resource Center
made the most significant impact in the lives of our clients, and which students
(separated out by demographic variables) showed the greatest improvement.
Service Impact
The Basalt Family Resource Center addresses the public school's need for students who
are able to come to school healthy, prepared, and able to perform to their full potential.
There are so many students in our schools who have the ability to do well in school, but
are not able to concentrate fully on their studies due to health, mental health, and/or
academic difficulties. By linking families, schools, and community resources, the
Resource Center provides a direct and convenient way for students to access health
providers, and for school personnel to know that their most needy students have an
avenue to receive help.
The Resource Center expects that the results of our program evaluation will
demonstrate a positive impact upon the school behavior and performance, as well as
the health status, of those students with whom we work intensively (defined as
interacting with the student/family twenty or more times). We anticipate that the
teachers and principals in contact with these students will notice an improvement in the
students' school performance, attitude, and/or interactions with others, as a result of
their connection with the Basalt Family Resource Center.
