The Stakes Responsive Model is an evaluation approach that focuses on addressing the concerns of stakeholders like administrators, teachers, parents, and students. It emphasizes conducting evaluations in learning environments and improving communication by responding to emerging issues rather than predetermined ones. This qualitative model relies on understanding the context, culture, power, needs, and beliefs of stakeholders. While complex and subjective, it directs attention to the needs of those being evaluated and looks at programs from different viewpoints in a flexible way.
