HEA 540 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric

Evaluation Plan Overview: While this module’s discussion is about how to communicate information about evaluating recommendations, this third milestone is about how to get the evaluation done. Prompt: In this milestone, you will determine a plan for evaluating the success of your recommendations once they are implemented. Use the case study or your selected program. This evaluation plan will include a process for measuring success, including a discussion of how the recommendations will foster continuous improvement and an explanation, with specific examples, of how you would mitigate institutional challenges. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

 Outline the process by which you will measure the success of your recommendations. In other words, what are the steps you will need to take to measure the success of your recommendations, and what further information or indicators will you need to find a nd verify?

 Discuss how the evaluation of your recommendations will foster continuous improvement within the academic program. What ongoing processes will be in place? How will adjustments be identified and made?

 Explain how these continuous improvement processes address institutional challenges. How do they respond to the ever-changing academic environment? Use specific examples to support your explanation.

Rubric

Guidelines for Submission: Your paper should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document of at least 5 pages (including title and reference pages) with headings, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in APA format.
