Evaluation

A promising undertaking in evaluation was established beginning with the first cycle of the MDHE Improving Teacher Quality Grant. An external evaluation team, selected for each cycle through a competitive process, will evaluate projects individually and collectively and will measure the effect of the projects on student learning and higher education in Missouri.
