Evaluating Training and Assessing Outcomes

UALR. Evaluations were completed at the end of each session. Feedback was used to modify that session the next time it was provided. One full semester after all FRC members had completed the training modules, a follow-up evaluation was provided to assess impact. This assessment instrument is included in the Printable Resources section of this CD. Impact has also been observed from the perspective of the disability services office. The staff report that questions and requests from faculty demonstrate a better understanding of the accommodation process and of student needs.

UAPB. Evaluations were completed at the end of each session. A pre-test/post-test was also administered.

Recommendations:

• Design evaluation forms that are short and easy to complete.

• Organize training modules before designing the evaluation and pre-test/post-test instruments so that assessments directly reflect content.

• Recognize that asking the right evaluation questions may actually facilitate a change in behavior. Questions such as "Have you shared the materials from the last session with colleagues in your department?" may serve as a reminder to do so the next time.
