Administrator's Environmental Education Evaluation Manual.

Evaluation instruments to assess existing attitudes and interests concerning the environment are compiled. Baseline data will be gathered from teachers, administrators, parents, and community members through a set of four pretests administered prior to initiation of the Interlakes Environmental and Outdoor Education Project. All instruments serve to determine the attitudes, interests, enthusiasms, knowledges, and anticipations of the specific groups. In addition, survey instrument number 1, Administrator Staff Project Evaluation, will determine the extent to which administrators plan to use personnel, facilities, equipment, and school time for the project. Instrument 2, Parent Self-Evaluation, will indicate the scope of participation in school programs and activities, while number 3, An Adult Self-Study About Environmental Education, will include identification of the school's role in handling concerns of pollution, ecology, and conservation and show how well they feel the school is performing its role. Teacher Self-Evaluation, instrument 4, will assess the extent teachers presently use environmental education materials and expect to use them under the Project. Finally, an awareness and attitude survey of natural resources for grade five students and a concept development assistance inventory are included. This work was prepared under an ESEA Title III contract. (BL)
