A variety of assessment tools are used as part of the program. Mental health clinicians and staff provide behavioral feedback on an ongoing basis. Real-world industry standards are used to assess students' products. For example, students went through a Health Department audit when they organized and operated a calzone booth at the local outdoor weekend market. The feedback of booth supervisors and (most importantly) customers helped gauge students' success. Projects often included opportunities for group discussion, debate, and problem solving. Most activities culminated in informal and formal peer critiques as well as presentations to and feedback from "experts in the field."
