»» What skills will the team need?
»» What resources can we allocate to this evaluation that will still meet our needs?
»» Who will be needed on the evaluation team?

»» Did the evaluation meet the standards of utility, feasibility, propriety, accuracy?
»» Did the evaluator act ethically?
»» Were changes made as a result of the evaluation?
