This study collects and reviews selected literature using qualitative methods and means to derive a generated theory arising from the collected data.  We reviewed a total of eight studies narrowed down from three thousand and seventy, based on their relevance, methods, participants, and tracts of interviews.  The analyzed data were then coded and tabulated to show a narrative presentation of the data. The findings show that the collected literature to be homogenous enough to represent the entirety of the studies in relation to the topic.  Themes on evaluation and teamwork were developed from the reviewed studies and a model of evaluation for K-12 program was devised.
