Assessing Impact: Evaluating Staff Development 2nd Edition (Product Unavailable for Purchase)

Joellen Killion

Assessing Impact was created for anyone responsible for designing and measuring the impact of professional learning programs. Killion provides guidance and practical resources through an eight-step evaluation framework. The book is grounded in three key assumptions: the professional development being evaluated is data-driven, research-based, and well-defined; 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.
