Evaluation
Primary goals of the evaluation
1. In projects, the evaluation has importance because of analysis of the process of implementation which determines the effectiveness of processes, in bulling perspective the results of the percentage of the decline in such events would determine the effectiveness of the program.
2. The evaluation also helps in the determination of the quality of the work done, in bulling, what was the methods which was used to stop bulling, whether they were permanent or temporary?
3. The evaluation provides with the insight of the activities which are going in the program, this helps in enhancing the program and changing the decision made which don’t suit the scenario.
Issues in implementing the programs
1. One major issue in the implementation of the program is that the parents of the children responsible for bullying, don’t accept the fault of their children and blaming the authorities in exchange for torturing their child.
2. The reporting of the events of the bullying is itself the problem, as in most of the cases, the bullying is not reported in the schools, which may result in the ineffectiveness of the anti-bulling programs.
3. There is lack of cooperation from the rest of the student body who may know the realities of the events inside that had happened. The student shows no cooperation to the concerning authorities.
Overcoming the issues effectively
In response to the non-supportive behavior of the parents, the school authorities need to act in the positive manner to get the parents under confidence regarding their child’s behavior. This can be done through the use of the evidences which can prove the wrong behavior of their child in the school. The evidences may be the CCV footage or the eye witness, like other students in the school. This will be helpful in stopping the bulling through the cooperation of the parents.
As another issue is the non-reporting of the bullying events by the victim himself/herself is very problematic as the events of the bulling will not be reported but its effects will prevail on the minds of the victim will be reflecting. Specially in schools the studies of the victim students may decline. The school students should be taught about the benefits what they can provide to other through reporting, as reporting is not just for the only one person but it will be helpful in making the environment friendlier and favorable for education.
The other students who are not reporting the events of bulling may also become the cause of the decrease in the efficiency of the program. The students must be educated on the mass level in the school regarding the responsibility which they have over the sightedness of the event of bulling. They should be taught that it’s the contribution towards the betterment of the learning environment of the school, their protection must be promised which may be keeping their identity in private which shouldn’t be known to other students (Moore, Audrey, & Barker, 2015).
Rationale for the research
The rational behind the development of the plan is based on the Tylerian evaluation approach, in which the emphasized has been put on the importance of the involvement of the both students and teachers. The input from both the stakeholders are necessary in maintain the discipline in the school related to the bulling. The research suggested that the assessment is the means to the improvement in the process. Same techniques which was suggested by Tylerian was implemented in the process. The goals are set according to the activities which are required to be performed (Adetoro, Vidler, Drebit, & Payne, 2017).
The whole evaluation program was divided further into various steps.
Assessment of the program
The assessment will provide the effectiveness of the program through which the output of the program will be determined and further improvements can be made sure. Such as the evaluator will determine the mistakes in the program that will be identified in the assessment process, then the evaluator will be required to take the corrective actions. The correction of the process is to make sure the effectiveness of the decision-making process (Fridrich, Jenny, & Bauer, 2015).
The evaluator can be determined the loopholes in the program through considering the following questions in his/her mind. What is the purpose of the evaluation? What are the lessons of the evaluation program? What will be the result of the evaluation process? What are the key issues which are being addressed in the evaluation program?
Timeline
The timeline of the program is very productive as it will point out the issues and the possible steps that will make the evaluation process more fruitful. The timeline starts in the following ways:
· Initiation of the anti-bulling program
· Evaluation of the program
· Making necessary adjustment in the plan
· Evaluating the results of the plan

Has all the program which were critical to the program’s outcome, been delivered? |
Program managers |
Progress in the program till date; identification of the problems which requires attention |
In the form of the memorandum and verbal presentation of the findings |
In the start of each month, the reports will be presented |
Presentation will be conducted in the staff meetings with the one page of the description of project related finding. |

What does the train9ng to the students have effect on their writing abilities? |
Principle of school, arts teachers, and school board |
The student performance measured on the holistic and analytical measures of the research |
Oral briefing longish the written report being presented to each participant of meeting |
After every two months the report will be made on the basis of the fresh findings |
The briefing of the findings will be discussed with the staff and the principal, then the board of the school will be give briefing in condition of being as led by them |

Have all the critical activities associated to the program has been performed? |
1. Working with the associated staff to get insight about the evaluation process. 2. Identification of the methods which will be useful in monitoring the data collection phase 3. Collection, analysis, and interpretation of the data 4. Meet with the assigned people with the task to discuss the findings |
· First month of the evaluation process · Second month if evaluation · Months 2-4 |
|
What are the most pressing issue in the evaluation process which is hurdling the program? |
1. Meeting with the staff recording the data of the program evaluation 2. Seeking the arguments of the parties involves in the creation of the political and cultural issues in the implementation of the plan 3. Conduct interviews with the teaching staff to get their reviews upon the specified task |

Timeline for the evaluation of program
|
Tasks ongoing |
Period |
|
Initiation of the anti-bulling program
|
|
|
Evaluation of the program
|
One month after initiation of the anti-bulling program |
|
Making necessary adjustment in the plan
|
After one week the adjustment will be made part of the program after deep consideration |
|
Evaluating the results of the plan |
At the start of the next month, the practice will continue till the continuity of the plan |
Expected cost of the evaluation process
The expected cost which is estimated for two weeks have ranged to the $7400, which determines that if the evaluation process extends to 2 months, then the total cost which will be incurred on this will be 7400 * 4 = $29600. As the evaluation process is well defined and composes of many different steps, then the human resource cost will be higher as it is expected. There are expectations that the cost may raise to bit due to other petty expenses which cannot be articulated.
The cost of the project can be reduced through the downsizing of the team involved in the evaluation process. 5 persons in a team can be changed to 3 people in it. this will determine the cost effectiveness, but the time period on the evaluation process may raise. The number of the people will be reduced to 4 and the evaluation lead will remain through out the research.
Conclusion
The anti-bullying program will be facing many problems in its way of implementation as there will be parties who would be participating to affect the performance of the program, but there are already ways are defined to resist the issues entering into the execution of the program. The cost allocation and the worksheet of the task has given specific direction to the program, as any further ambiguity in the program will be removed easily.
