Evalu-ate Professional Development Evaluation Workshop

Based on her well-known book, Assessing Impact, in this workshop Joellen Killion provides guidance and practical resources through an eight-step evaluation framework. The work is grounded in three key assumptions: the professional development being evaluated is data-driven, research-based, and welldefined; those in charge of the professional development have the capacity to implement the learning and the  evaluation; and key stakeholders intend to use the evaluation results to make decisions about the program.
