ABSTRACT

Program evaluation focuses on important evaluative dimensions related to the critical aspects of inclusive ITE programs. Critical aspects of these programs often address the program’s (a) core beliefs, (b) curriculum and competencies, (c) pedagogical practices and learning activities, (d) field-based experiences, (e) recruitment and graduation of a diverse pool of pre-service teachers, (f) faculty diversity, and (g) impact on the field (Salend et al., 2006). An overview of these critical programmatic aspects, evaluation dimensions, related evaluation questions, and potential data sources are presented in the following sections.
