Donald Stufflebeam (educator)

Donald Stufflebeam was an influential educator and researcher best known for developing the CIPP Model of program evaluation. This framework helps educators and organizations assess the value and effectiveness of educational programs systematically. The CIPP model focuses on four areas: Context (evaluating needs and setting goals), Input (examining resources and strategies), Process (monitoring implementation), and Product (measuring outcomes). Stufflebeam's work has significantly shaped how schools and institutions evaluate and improve their initiatives, ensuring decisions are based on thorough, objective analysis.
