Program Evaluation
All awardees, except for the Individual Development Awards Program, are required to submit a Program Evaluation within 30 days of completion of their project or activity to the NYS/UUP JLMC staff. Failure to submit a Program Evaluation may result in a committee postponing taking action on subsequent applications submitted by the award recipient until the Program Evaluation is received. For the Individual Development Awards Program, a determination is made by each campus professional development committee as to the type of evaluation to be submitted upon completion of the project or activity.
