Consortium Work >> Administrative Teams >> Evaluation

The Evaluation team is charged with carrying out evaluation processes that focus both on the degree to which the NCIEC has effectively worked to maximize resources and minimize duplication through the collaborative approach, and the extent to which the effective practice-based resources and products developed and disseminated by the work-teams improve interpreter education outcomes. In the past several months the Evaluation team revised and implemented the Year 3 evaluation of Centers and the Consortium. It also began planning for the year 4 and 5 evaluation. The team also collaborated as possible with the Planning and Programming team in the development of procedures and performance measures to be used to assess the progress of the programmatic work-teams, and the effectiveness and impact of NCIEC-provided products and services, including changed practices, increased knowledge and improved skills.

The National Center provides leadership to the Evaluation team. In addition to regular team activities, the National Center worked directly with RSA in the dissemination of Year 2 evaluation reports, and in the required follow-up procedures related to the findings of that evaluation.

Needs Assessments
 The Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment Report serves as a starting point for understanding the current and projected needs of deaf consumers as they relate to the availability, quality and overall use of interpreter services. The Phase I Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment effort was designed as only the first in a series of on-going activities planned by NCIEC to collect input from deaf consumers. The Phase II Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment is being conducted now across the country in face to face interviews with Deaf Consumers.

Effective Practices
 The National Center is charged with a leadership role in identifying effective practices, both existing and those to emerge through NCIEC projects and activities. The goal is to identify effective practices and produce guidelines, benchmarks, milestones and assessment measures to guide others in future replications of, and improvements to, those practices.
