Abstract

This article evaluates the reforestation and environmental education program carried out by unidad educativa De La Asunción, as part of its student‟s participation project. This program was evaluated according to its diagnosis, institutional policy, structure, resources, quality and internal evaluations. The checklist used for this investigation, had 70 indicators, adapted from the non-formal environmental education program guidelines for excellence , designed by the north American association for environmental education (NAAEE). The aim of this study is to identify which aspects were planned and executed according to this guideline‟s standards. The results show that 75% of the indicators were rated as A (excellent) and B (sufficient). The elements related to the quality of the program, resources and institutional policies obtained a high percentage of indicators valued under those categories. Aspects related to internal evaluation and programs structure, where rated under C (partial) and D (insufficient). This demonstrates the importance of internal evaluation and general goals compatibility, as well as the need of this relation since the beginning of the planning process.
