How often should a school evaluate the AR program's impact?

Evaluating the AR program's impact annually is essential for several reasons. It allows the school to assess the program’s effectiveness in promoting reading and literacy among students on a regular basis, ensuring that it meets educational goals. Annual evaluations provide consistent opportunities to gather data on student progress, participation rates, and overall engagement with reading materials. This regular assessment helps to identify strengths and weaknesses within the program, allowing for timely adjustments or improvements to be made based on current student needs and feedback. By conducting evaluations every year, schools can stay proactive rather than reactive, ensuring that the AR program evolves and continues to support students effectively over time.
