Data source in Evaluation
There are various sources of data that are used in the process of
evaluation in that data is easily acquired in most convenient
forms such that it can be used in proper evaluation that aids the
best result (Long, et al 2015).

2. Current and Previous Data
An individual who is involved in an evaluation should start by
considering data that is already available as well as the data that
had been used previously. According to the program it has been
out of operation for more than five years, therefore, being
inactive. Knowing what program had been used by checking
records that have been documented (Boulmetis et al, 2016). For
example, looking at reports written previously allows the
evaluator to have the whole idea.
Plan Recipient
The most convenient way to source data is when an evaluator
relies on the plan or the program that the recipients have in
existence. This is because this is a way that can provide a route
way to achieve evaluation needs (Greene et al, 2017).
Discussion together with the recipients is a better way to access
information while surveys that are involved verify the whole
process.
Records from observation
Images that have been recorded in various forms are essential
data capturing sources (Greene et al, 2017). Some of these
sources include pictures, stored clips, and videos which is the
preferred data acquiring points that have been in use. This
rationale provides well-elaborated information to the evaluator
since well-represented data in form of images and videos that a
good example of well-processed data that can be used in making
the final resolution in management. However, other means of
collecting data depend on the source and individuals that are
being involved in their disposition and capacity to provide
information (Boulmetis et al, 2016). Actual situations are
preferred as they can give accountancy of the real experiences
in the entire program and the reason behind occurrences.
Questions
1. According to your accountancies tell us which is the
appropriate period when you get to follow programs directives
in an actual way
2. Talk about a schedule that was tight and how you handled the

3. schedule.
3. Describe the occurrence when bad information had been
brought to your manager, what the reaction
4. During your duty explain incidences that you had a mistake
that shows serious improvement is required in a certain field of
work.
5. Do you think there is any relationship that exists between
Latinos in the schools as appointees and Americans who make
them run away from schools?
6. What kind of association should be in existence between a
mentor and his or her mentee to create a baseline for expected
actions of mentorship?
7. Explain how ethnicity differences have contributed to
influencing learners’ ways of judging that as a result make them
have certain choices correction of behaviors between Latinos
and the other group of students?
8. Do you think there is equality in displaying and ways of
correcting whites’ students in comparison with blacks and
Latino based male learners?
The selection of the questions to be included in the interview in
the evaluation process inclines interview takers on ethnicity
privileges in academic fields and institutions where such
incidences are expected. The interview aims at interrogating
perception that exists on the races specifically male learners in
schools. This is due to the main scope of the program set in that
partakers of the interview get counselors who can guide them
(Boulmetis et al, 2016). These evaluations create a standard way
of ensuring mentorship is well given a chance from the high
school level. Young students get a chance to acquire leadership
qualities which is the expected rationale within the whole plan.
However, it is the intention of the program to bring about
enlighten to allow less privileged ethnic groups to have
achieved their dreams bridging the existing gap between
cultural differences that bring about different social statuses
(Greene et al, 2017). The interview reframes the whole idea of
letting the program objectives on ensuring mentees are well

4. mentored to acquire their personal life that is better placed.
Facts Collection
When it comes to the collection of facts and relevant
information the evaluator encounters different blocks that
challenge the whole program since there are no results that one
would arrive at when data is not collected (Greene et al, 2017).
Some of these challenges include having a convenient forum to
reach out to the participants despite having many ways to reach
them out. There is also a high probability of losing them.
Having to meet participant is the most convenient way even
though it is hard due to the geographical distance between them
and the evaluator.
When collecting facts, one may end up getting the wrong
information as a result of biased information (Katz et al 2019).
This can only be rectified when different people are evaluated
therefore giving room to collect biased data.
Analysis of collected data is an important aspect that may bring
about errors in which it depends on evaluator methods of
evaluation it influences the results and recommendations of the
program report.
Successful Communication
Evaluator has the capability of ensuring there is success in
communication by means such as keeping contact of all the
involved stakeholders where the issues of the program can be
well communicated among the parties (Katz et al 2019). Having
conferences allow the members to solve some of the issues that
are existing and forming ways that will enable the survival of
the program due to support that stakeholders would offer.
The creation of a summary of events that have been taking place
serves as a better way to ensure the relevant information is
brought into members' awareness facilitating clear
communication that leads the project to its success by ensuring
there is effective communication during the evaluation program.
Announcing data

5. There are various ways in which data can be represented after a
compete evaluation program whereby the evaluator comes up
with convenient ways of representing the final data. Examples
of common ways that are used include summarized reports
about findings verified by the members of the program as well
as providing evidence on the findings (Katz et al 2019). A
decision is made by the stake to bring set the way forward on
either to continue considering the financial requirement of the
evaluation and other aspects such as involving external groups
such as the public to present questions related to the program.

Evaluation
The process that involves systematic analysis that allows
determination of a certain nature of an ongoing activity in
which efficiency as well as the efficiency of work that is on
progress or the one that has been completed to give a final
quality of certain aspect. Evaluation has three different goals

7. that it always fulfills to ensure there is a well and better
measurement of an activity. However, goals of evaluation
depend on the main scope of the activity.
Most evaluation goals include motivation in that when a
certain activity is evaluated the aspect of motivation factor that
allows individuals that are involved to have a push force to do
better on that particular activity (Allen et al, 2016). The second
goal of motivation involves advocacy of efficiency. This is
evident since when an evaluation is done about an activity be it
in a business the workers can weigh in their efficiency and
improve on their productivity from previous output to a more
improved production as a result of gauging efficiency. This is
done through the use of minimum input to get maximum output.
Evaluation is also done in a firm or a company to ensure that
there is time management as planned in by organization as it is
well known that time management is the basic key aspect in
ensuring continuity of a firm, Therefore, an evaluation analyze
e all-time factors that have been consumed for future planning
to enhance continuation of a certain project in a company.
When any evaluation is done whatsoever the reason some
things are highly considered which are essential in completing
the exercise these factors include a product of work done in the
project being evaluated, the main attitude that goes hand in
hand with evident behaviors, and finally progression of the
project towards goals achievement. In this case it is evident
when the individuals performing the work have a regular
motivational capability that would yield a better result.
Different factors can be encountered in the process of
evaluation in that they can be either politically based or
culturally based (Fuld et al, 2018). These are factors that affect
the evaluation process in either a positive or negative way
leading to either poor evaluation results or better results.
Cultural factors include all beliefs and customs that are related
to a particular group of people. The most effective cultural
factor include language in that this can bring about an issue in
evaluation. When it comes to a firm there must be a language

8. that people around that area are well entitled to and they
understand well. Some of these languages are not globally
known therefore, creating a drawback due to lack of
communication among the staff who carry out evaluation and
individuals being evaluated.
The other cultural factor involves religion where people
have different religions that they believe in. These religions
have specific ways of carrying out things as per their doctrine.
This means that other aspects cannot be evaluated due to
religious restrictions (Westbrook, 2017). For example, Jews
believe that their resting day is Saturday in that they should
strictly carry no activity during that day as a result this affects
other activities that probably had been scheduled on that
particular day. This goes hand in hand with Muslims also who
have their day of worshiping that is different from other groups.
This signifies that the world is a multicultural in that issues
such as religion stands to be an inhibiting factor. Another
cultural factor relates to basic needs which is food that is
mostly presented in different cultures in different ways and
names.
Some communities do not share food due to low
appreciation of different cultures (Blau, 2019). When it comes
to evaluation of projects in a firm involving food there may be a
record of biasness due to individuals who are from different
cultures failing to appreciate what is being presented to them.
Other factors fall within the category of political factors.
Such factors include various levels of bureaucracy, an existing
culture in a business such as corruption and which indicates the
level of corruption in business, established government system
and finally the
cycle involved in democratic nations; all these are political
factors that consequently affect the outcome.
When it comes to evaluation sampling and design used can
only be geared by several well-considered aspects such as the
group that is involved and the entire population. This is a useful
factor due to the consideration of statistical values that would

9. be obtained in getting the final value. However, when it comes
to choosing a sampling technique it should be considered that
the sample used should be well understood, use of the correct
experimental evaluation design (Zhu, 2019). There is the need
to select a sample that is randomly acquired allowing all
members in that particular population an equal chance of being
among the selectee. This technique allows the advantage of
saving o time as well as making sure that evaluation is fully
done in an equal representation.
Several sampling techniques have been used in ensuring
that sampling in an evaluation is correctly done. This includes
random sampling in which it is a technique in sampling that
gives all involved members equal chance in that all units
selected are randomly identified to avoid biased results. The
second type that ought to be used is a stratified method of
sampling that consists of a well-defined aspect of dividing the
population into groups based on the same characteristics such as
age, and economic position of the population (Trewet et al,
2016). This would be better since it allows well representation
of a character that is being evaluated much better.
When it comes to assessment two main methods can be
used in the process of evaluation to achieve the level of needed
assessment result. In this case both qualitative and quantitative
assessments are essential in giving accurate data (Liang et al,
2019). When it comes to assessment using qualitative aspects
that can be observed checking out weather the assessed project
is suitable for use. The quantitative aspect of assessment
involves looking at given data if they suit the project
workability. This process goes hand in hand with used time and
the time that is remaining to enable the use of given time in
most cases project timelines do not meet the given qualification
therefore evaluation should be able to look at the time allowed
to be concluded therefore giving a merit during the assessment.

of the above project (Katzman, 2017). The whole project would
consume at about 1000$ with an additional cost of 300$ that is
calculated as any cost that will be involved apart from the

However, this cost is calculated at a minimum cost of all input
whereby the maximum cost that would be incurred to make sure
the evaluation of the project is successful can also fall between
1500$.

Planned Approach
There are some ways that evaluation would be done though. In
this case Provus’s model discrepancy evaluation suits best. It
was invented by Malcolm and named after his name that’s

13. Provus. He gave a clear definition to explain what evaluation
entails which is the act of agreeing with the available standards
of all programs, therefore gauging up if there is existence of
discrepancy within the program and also taking care of the rules
that control a particular program (Isabella, et al 2012).
According to the Provus model it is based on solving problems
whereby sets of procedures are followed having an intension of
finding out a lope hole involved to help in decision making to
solve the issue. When in unique cases where males lack a
mentor to look upon despite being worth as an object (Straus et
al, 2018). Discrepancy is showed by the model that has been
installed in the program. This program was launched in the year
2011 it started benefiting various people based on different
geographical areas such as Latino males, and African- American
more so the students. It helps them to face issues that they
encounter when they come to an academic setting (Walker et al,
2017). The model also targets the entire community activities
such as offering services as well as leadership enforcement to
initiate growth. Provost's highlights other programs that do not
provide mentorship to students who require to be mentored. It is
designed in a way that it creates a budget brought about by
people who require no payment but as volunteers.
Rationale and Research
This approach is well justified in that the results bear fruits as
its process involves certain stages and levels that have
categories that can be compared with the output as the
performance of the model (Allen et al, 2017). This is crucial as
it describes the level standard that the program is at in offering
effective tasks. When examined more so by evaluators it can be
gauged if any changes are needed as far as the design of the
program is concerned.
Malcolm model has great relevance since it serves
different interests. When it comes to evaluation some merits are
involved namely reinforcement of changes to the betterment,
enhancement of constant performance, or any implementation
that would be needed in the program as a way to identify

14. discrepancies (Gabriel et al, 2019). Personnel that is used as an
evaluator by use of the model has to adhere with several
requirements that include identification of suitable evaluation
program, list several objectives to be worked on, have a clear
and well-organized plan, be in a position to go through require
channels while implementing any information when need be,
pointing out any discrepancies that fall on objectives set
considering the program goal and finally have an idea on what
to carry on afterward.
Major Areas
Main Question: What perceived impact does the mentor have on
Latinos and African-American males during their matriculation
through high school?
1. Does the aspect of making sure individuals are being
mentored in places such as African- Latino seen as a way that
leads to diploma achievement?
2. Does monitoring has any evident impact that is contributed to
the increasing number of graduates in African American and
also Latino males?
3. How do students perceive their relationship with that of their
mentor who takes part in the program?
4. Main Question: What is the nature of poverty and economic
hardship for Latino and African American males in the school
district? Do we have better ways of measuring poverty?
5. How frequently does it occur that some participants live
under poverty?
6. How often do we have cases of economic struggles among
program participants?
Main Question: Is disproportionality due to poverty?
1. Does any explanation concerning disproportionate relate to
economic status?
2. Do we have any relation between color students involved in
indiscipline?
1. What can be told about the disruption of severity when
compared?

15. Rationale and Research Support
The of deciding what route to take creates no effect on the
actual work out since this is just but theoretical when young
males from the African-American or Latino are entitled to relate
with different people who can be classified as successful ones
after going through hardship success becomes more tangible and
real to them. Kornel et al, 2017 depict that where there are male
personals involves a better performance of mentoring other
young people. However, having differences in culture in the
globe this has acted as a challenge of overcoming present issue
about these two different races. According to the information
given there is an effect on education. The most important thing
is that all males should be able to reason as per himself.
When mentoring such young males’ significant change is seen
since a bigger number perform until they graduate and survive
in all sorts of environments.
Stakeholders
This program involves an evaluation that is carried out by
partners. They are considered people who always join hands to
contribute to the success of the program. However, people such
as mentors are also stakeholders or partners. Anyone who offers
his or her support by giving idea, guidance that would be used
to create an impact in another person’s life more, so counselors
are of great significance. They should be at the forefront since
they can bring about young men’s minds into a focus that would
lead to success (Kram et al, 2012). Most young men have the
capacity of doing many things, but they lack mentors who
would talk to them and offer preparedness which brings success
when there is a chance when an opportunity arises.
The most important aspect is to find mentors who are used to
the program to initiate proper workout. In conclusion when a
program is set to be used involvement should be expected that
allows individuals that have been mentored to also pay back by
mentoring others after a few years of the program.

Introduction
Program evaluation is considered to be the
organized and systematic styles of gathering and analyzing data
on policies, programs and projects in various institutions
(Vedung, 2017). It ensures that the measures taken are of
benefit to the institution and the stakeholders. It helps to
analyze and predict if the desired outcomes will be achieved
and with the utmost efficiency and effectiveness. Judgement
concerning the program are made through program evaluation
and if there may be some challenges expected to hinder the
realization of the desired outcomes, they are solved at this point
to enhance effectiveness of the program. For the case study of
this assignment, I am going to deal with a program of
introduction of e-resources and internet in my area district
school.
Elements of program evaluation:

18. Engagement of the stakeholders is the first element
where all the parties in the district school must be brought on
board for consultation of this program i.e. introduction of
internet and e-resources (Posavac, 2015). The stakeholders
comprises the managers of the school, teachers, students,
parents and the community at large. They need to be aware of
the program and give their views on the same. The required
target group being the students means that their performance
must improve positively as more and improved ways of learning
shall be introduced.
The program must be explained in fine details to
ensure that everyone is at per. The explanation starts from the
means of internet acquisition, devices to be used by the teachers
and the learners and other supporting features like the source of
power. Each member must get to know their role in the success
of the program at large. Ideas and other criticisms must be aired
out in the description of the program to ensure loopholes are not
given a chance.
Evidences of success of the same program must also be
provided so as to ensure that the program is not doomed to fail.
The importance of the evidence is to help predict the time frame
expected before the desired outcomes re realized. This will help
in planning of the materials required and the gathering of the
required skills from the instructors who are well equipped with
the knowledge required.
Program History and purpose:
The history of this program originates from other
district schools which have been performing well in both local
and national exams. Their performance brought to the attention
the methods they use in order to realize such kind of results.
The primary purpose of the program is to enhance good
performance of the students in examination situation and also in
gathering of the required skills to be used in various field of life
(Vedung, 2017). The expected outcomes is the general
improvement of the learners in examination situations and also
in other field once they clear out of school where the gained

19. skills can be used for personal benefit or for the benefit of the
society at large.
Reasons for selecting the program
There are various reasons for selecting this program
on e-resources and internet in the district school. One of the
reason is to help learners get conversant with the learning
process from another point of view. Some learners are
motivated by new ideas from new sources apart from the book.
Internet being one of the new sources with a wide range of
information ensures that many of the learners are comfortable
and even willing to learn more with the new technology in the
school.
Competition in the market and the society at large is
another reason for selecting this program. Learners from the
district school should stand equal chances of competing with
others from other levels of school locally and internationally
through the knowledge and skills acquired in school.
Internet and technology promotes innovations. Learners who use
internet tend to be so innovative because they can access
information from every corner of the world. This information
and innovations helps to develop their areas of living and the
community in general.
Advantages of evaluating the program at this time:
I. The program evaluation will help identify the strengths and
weaknesses for its efficiency and effectiveness
II. Resources needed to ensure that the program succeeds will
be prepared early and in advance for the smooth flow of the
learning process. This will ensure the desired outcomes are
realized.
III. The school, parents and community at large will be on the
look out of the resources in their school and hence security will
be enhanced to ensure the safety of their properties. The
contributions needed and the roles to be played by every
member will be addressed at this stage (Silluvan, 2006).
Major constraints and methods of addressing them while
evaluating the program:

20. The constraints of this program is the perception of the
community and the learners engaging in non-educative content.
This is a challenge because the intended purpose will not be
realized. This can lead to moral decay of the leaners. The
possible solution is to ensure supervision of the learning
activities are well manned to enhance efficiency.
Cost is also a challenge depending on the number of learners.
The school may not be in a position to raise the required
amount. If such a case arises, planning needs to be done, and
contributions towards the same done to ensure the program runs
as desired (Sullivan, 2006).
Conclusion
This program as evaluated will be of great benefit to the
learners in the district schools. It will help them gain more
skills other those learnt in class, this will help them compete
with other locally and internationally since they have the skills
of the market standards. This evaluation will help solve any
challenge and promote the strengths to ensure efficiency and
realization of the desired outcomes.
