We, at the Broward County Public Schools Human Resource Development department, are striving to provide all district and school-based professional developers with support. By focusing on the Planning, Delivery, Follow-up, and Evaluation of professional development, all professional learning that occurs within BCPS will be quality professional learning that aligns with the state and national standards. This blog will specifically focus on the EVALUATION of professional development.
If you are a BCPS Program Manager, you may have heard about or even attended the first evaluation course offered by HRD, known as PD Evaluation Essentials. In this foundation level course, participants developed a common vocabulary that focused on:
*the value of evaluation
*the intended results of the professional development program, event, or activity
*the 3 major types of evaluation and their stages of deployment
*Guskey's 5 levels of PD evaluation
The next evaluation course to be offered in the Fall 2007 will take PD evaluation to the next level of learning, which is the application level. In this course, participants will:
*determine what type of data is necessary to collect for PD evaluation
*select appropriate data collection tools that address Guskey's five levels of evaluation
*analyze the data collected to determine if the PD program, event, or activity is impacting student achievement and job performance
Maybe you're someone who needs to evaluate professional development. For more information, you can contact Anamarie Root: 754-321-5026 or anamarie.root@browardschools.com. I look forward to assisting you with your PD evaluation needs!
