Program Implementation and Evaluation When it comes to implementing a program, everyone has an opinion. Whether it is the organization of the program or the evaluation of the program, everyone, administrators, teachers and parents, will have their opinion on the new program. The curriculum development group has many difficult decisions to make. They must decide when and how to implement the program, who will be responsible, what data will be collected and how the program will be evaluated. The group should keep communication open to everyone involved. Successful program implementation requires careful planning, communication, listening and organization. Every school is different and therefore every program is different. What works for one school may not work for all schools. Implementing ChangeAccording to Ornstein and Hunkins (2013), three factors contribute to successful program implementation: people, programs, and processes . The only factor that keeps all three factors together is communication. Communication is key to effecting program change. Communication can be spoken, written or seen. Leaders must communicate with teachers and society to implement the program. Besides communication, there are five guidelines for change (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2013):1. Innovations designed to improve student achievement must be technically sound. Leaders need to examine how Montessori works. Is Montessori successful in other charter schools? How has the program been implemented in other charter schools? The program development team should observe other Montessori schools and research their data to ensure that the program in the middle of the papers should be held accountable for the success of the program. Staff and parents must communicate regularly to ensure the program runs smoothly.ResourcesChattin-McNichols, J. (2013). Work in society and in Montessori classes.
