The invention describes a method for evaluating educational programs which, firstly,
develops criteria which will address the strengths and weaknesses of the educational
program. The second step of the method is to observe the criteria, chosen in step
one, in the educational program. The third step is to assign a numerical value
to each of the criteria observed in step two. The next step is to assign an overall
rating to the educational program based on the numerically valued criteria. The
personnel involved in the educational program can then decide what steps in addition
to the assessment can be done to improve or maintain the educational program.
