REASONS FOR SELF-EVALUATION, THE SETTING OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, DEVELOPING INDICATORS OF SUCCESS, PROGRAM MONITORING, AND MONITORING INSTRUMENTS ARE CONSIDERED.
Abstract
DEFINING THE OVERALL GOAL AND THE SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES OF THE HOUSE IS PRESENTED AS THE FIRST STEP IN THE SELF-EVALUATION PROCESS. IDENTIFYING AND DEVELOPING INDICATORS OF SUCCESS IN TERMS OF BOTH THE RESIDENT'S PERFORMANCE AND THE HOUSE STAFF EFFORTS FOR EACH OF THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES FOLLOWS. THE FINAL STEP CONSISTS OF MONITORING THE HOUSE PROGRAM IN ORDER TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT IS HAPPENING FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTIMATING THE DEGREE OF SUCCESS OF THE HOUSE IN MEETING ITS OBJECTIVES. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THROUGH THESE STEPS ANY COMMUNITY-BASED RESIDENTIAL CENTER CAN IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRESS MADE BY THE RESIDENTS AND INCREASE COMMUNICATION AMONG THE STAFF, EVALUATE THE SUCCESS OF PARTICULAR ASPECTS OF THE HOUSE'S PROGRAM, AND EVALUATE THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF THE HOUSE. SAMPLES OF SELF-EVALUATION FORMS INCLUDED IN THE REPORT ARE INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE RESIDENT, WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORT, RESIDENT SUMMARY FORM, DAILY LOGS, RESIDENT EMPLOYMENT HISTORY, FOLLOWUP INFORMATION ON RESIDENT, AND ADMISSION FORM.
