Resources for Evaluating Professional Development
The Winter 2005/2006 issue of The Evaluation Exchange focuses on evaluating professional development across a range of fields, including after school and youth development, education, child care, and child welfare. The articles in this issue feature innovative methods in professional development, conceptual frameworks and practical tools for evaluating professional development, links between professional development and program quality, and the role of organizational contexts in supporting professional development and positive outcomes. Included in the issue is a Questions & Answers feature with Thomas Guskey, who describes his five-level model for evaluating professional development.
