25. 4. Supervision and Evaluation – Provides feedback of technology support It is important to measure both the actual service that is provided and the effectiveness of the processes used to provide support. The ultimate goal is to assess quality. Supervision monitors performance and assures continued improvement to meet expectations. Evaluation highlights current performance and identifies potential issues and improvements that could be made. Role clarity on the part of the school board in this area is essential. Carefully designed policies and procedures guide the supervision and evaluation system. Measurements should align with current evaluation processes and must be relevant and consistent. When roles and responsibilities have been identified, they can be crafted into elements of an evaluation instrument.
