Program
Evaluation
Program evaluation is an important practice for every school in order to help measure
the success and impact of the breakfast club and to ensure it is meeting school needs.
Evaluation is useful for:
•
Guiding program growth and improvement;
•
onitoring if the breakfast club is meeting the intended objectives
M
set out in the action plan;
•
Learning from past experiences;
•
Reporting impact to donors, parents, and the school community.
Program evaluation doesn’t need to be complicated. It can be done at the end of the
school year, but should also be integrated into the day-to-day routine at the breakfast
club. When thinking about ways to evaluate the club, it’s important to identify what
information is needed, how it will be collected, and for what purpose. There are many
simple ways for schools to evaluate the breakfast club including:
•
Listening to student and staff needs;
•
Making observations and documenting them;
•
Collecting testimonials;
•
Completing school surveys;
•
ollecting statistics (number of participants, number of days served,
C
attendance rates, etc.);
•
T racking changes in attendance rates, student food choices, number
of students eating breakfast regularly, and behavior, etc.
All schools should take the time to reflect on, evaluate and
celebrate the breakfast club’s achievements on a regular, ongoing
basis.
