The Guide to Local Evaluations of Even Start Family Literacy Programs is a resource for Even Start project directors, local evaluators of Even Start family literacy programs, and the state education agency (SEA) staff who oversee the Even Start family literacy program within each state. It is intended to provide common messages to those different audiences about the purpose and requirements of local evaluation in Even Start and the options to be considered in the design of local evaluations. Stronger local evaluation will improve the quality of Even Start programs and lead to better outcomes for Even Start families.
