With training and teaching assistance funds provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for evaluating the effectiveness of BIA programs in their communities, tribal governments may decide for themselves which of three possible sources--government, private, or tribe--will administer their programs. These are management decisions which require that extensive information be available to decision makers so that they have an adequate foundation on which to decide. This manual, assuming only a rudimentary knowledge of evaluation processes, provides guidelines and instrument models to assist Indian governments in gathering information necessary to make decisions on whether or not to contract for the administration of 13 BIA programs in the areas of Indian education and services. The programs considered are Committees for Indian Education, Teacher Aide Program, Cultural Enrichment Program, Student Financial Aid to Higher Education, Social Services, Social Services Counseling and Guidance, Child Welfare, Young Adult Conservation Corps, Youth Conservation Corps, Law Enforcement Planning, Law Enforcement Recruitment, Housing: Resident Training and Counseling Program, and Training and Technical Assistance. Separate sections address each program and contain program background/instructional information (scope, objectives, results), evaluation techniques, implementation procedures, documentation format, and privacy act guidelines. Evaluation instruments provided include functional checklists, survey questionnaires, interview questionnaires, statistical data forms, and comparative data forms. (NEC)
