Describe your plan for needs assessment, including culturally sensitive strategies for conducting the assessment.
In your role as a consultant who has been hired to evaluate a clinical mental health counseling program, you will describe the hypothetical program you will be planning to evaluate (recidivism of substance abuse offenders). Because this course project is a simulation, you will not actually evaluate a program; instead, you will create a fictitious but plausible program with hypothetical stakeholders, clients, interventions, and measures. It may be similar to one in your community, or it may be one that you would like to design someday.
For this assignment in Unit 4, use the template linked in Resources (attached) to write an introduction and a description of the program to be evaluated, including the vision and mission, clinical interventions, stakeholders, and short- and long-term outcomes the program. You will need to:
Establish your research base for the program evaluation by reviewing published evaluations and relevant research. Critique how the research and the program evaluations inform the practices of similar programs. This is the basis of your literature review.
Select, justify, and apply a model of evaluation you will use in your program evaluation.
Describe your plan for needs assessment, including culturally sensitive strategies for conducting the assessment.
Identify ethical standards that apply to program evaluations, and discuss how you will ensure they are met.
