A resource detailing a pilot project`s testing of program evaluation tools, with findings and recommendations.

Two evaluation tools were piloted by four Alberta literacy programs, in order to determine their usefulness for community-based programs. The evaluation tools were "The Volunteer Tutor Program Evaluation Kit" by Audrey Thomas (1989) and the "Progress File" by ALBSU. This 50-page document summarizes the pilot project and contains a description of the project set- up, the tools used, the results and recommendations.
This publication can be of use to literacy practitioners and administrators in the preliminary steps of setting up a community-based literacy program. It is available at a cost of $10, through
