| Abstract | ABSTRACT This paper describes the use of a theory-based framework, the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM), in evaluating the implementation of three educational innovations in the Portland (Oregon) Public Schools during 1986-87: (1) Project READ, a districtwide alternative language arts program for jrades 1-8; (2) Timeline, project management software for Evaluation Department planning, and (3) a K-8 social studies inservice program in a cluster of achools. It investigates the uses of three diagnostic dimensions of CBAM: Innovation Configurations (IC), Stages of Concern (SoC), and Levels of Use (Loll), and discusses their function in planning, monitoring, and evaluating these educational programs. The experience of using the Concerns Based Adoption Model in fcrmative evaluation of these programs indicates that it can assist the evaluator in defining program elements and interpreting related teacher concerns and use, and that the data can guide the program staff in monitoring clients' use of the innovation, designing practical intervention strategies, and confidently attributing outcomes to the program. A bibliography is included, and instrumentation is appended. (TE) |
