However, many of the components that make up the evaluation are shared and discussed as a part to of the evaluation process with staff and supervisors Summary Question The administrator that I was able to sit down and interview was the Principal of Yvonne B. Miller High school and Post-secondary programs, Dr. Mark Hudson. Now Yvonne B. Miller is not your traditional preferred classroom setting for it is based in a Virginia Juvenile Correctional Facility. Under the correctional environment that we work in, it is difficult to implement anything like a traditional classroom, for most is out of our control and is focused more on the safety and security of the students and then their education. The other thing that separates us from a traditional setting is our delivery of instruction. In the interview Dr. Hudson stated that “the program has moved from a traditional school program to a more personalized model with a student-centered pacing and instructional plan. Operation within a correctional facility requires coordination and collaboration with the residential structures. Working in partnership with residential leadership has influenced scheduling and overall instructional programming” (M. Hudson, personal communication, November 20, 2021). Due to this, implementing and enforcing this program has been challenging. The implementation of a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports)
program was introduced in 2018 in order to assist with problem behavior that staff were experiencing in school. Although this personalized model was put in place due to how far behind most of our students are, it does allow our students to finish high school prior to being released. Finishing school offers our students an opportunity of learning a trade so that once they are released they have a better chance at finding work. The downfall of this program is that teachers submit This study source was downloaded by 100000811274769 from CourseHero.com on 10-22-2023 17:11:35 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/188318471/U2A1- Context-Evaluation-Draftdocx/

This program would have a chance at succeeding if there weren’t so many hands in the pot making decisions without being embedded in the facility with the students, as it is in a traditional setting. Dr. Hudson explains that the hierarchy of the agency when it comes to the Division of Education (DOE) “attitudes and expectations are different due to the distance and disconnect between the written and the practiced program implementation components” (Personal Communication, November 20, 2021). He goes on to state that “at the lower end of the hierarchy, there is a prevailing attitude that the expectations are unrealistic” (Personal Communication, November 20, 2021). This causes a lot of issues and creates more inconsistencies and confusion as to what the expectations are which creates and decrease in the overall work ethic and performance of the staff. At the higher end, the prevailing attitude is that lagging implementation expectations are due to low skill or low will. The closer the work gets to the target population, the more the attitude tends to focus on individual and personal evaluation

and not the overall evaluation of the program” (Personal Communication, November 20, 2021). He admits that there has been some slack in the evaluation process on the administrative end due to “not been as consistent and thorough enough with appropriate follow through to see a positive change in our setting” (Personal Communication, November 20, 2021). In this case, our edgenuity program does not give us a clear answer as to whether or not it has a reasonable chance to succeed. If it was paired with personalized learning, as Dr. Hudson would want, and some frontal teaching, then it could work for our population. But as of now, how it is written and implemented, the student population is suffering due to all of the inconsistencies and miscommunication from the different stakeholders.
