Evaluating the impact of CPD

John DaffurnJanuary 15th, 2008

Click to read the Draft paper on the evaluation of the impact of CPD

The attached draft paper from the CPD team considers:

• The importance of self-evaluation to individual teachers, schools and local authorities
• The place of the evaluation of CPD within the overall context of self-evaluation
• Some theory
• The overlap between theory and existing thinking in Scotland
• Five levels of evaluation: how and when applied
• The evaluation of significant inputs made, or of outputs sought only
• Practical strategies in techniques of evaluation, noting those already in use in Scotland
• Some recommendations for action
Please feel free to comment on the blog or directly to the CPD team.

Many thanks

John

    Thanks for this. I have been using a version of this to evaluate impact of some CPD. I have created a simplified version of Guskey’s 5 levelswhich allows for both evaluative and quantitative feedback. I am willing to share with anyone who is interested. I use this after a period of three months at least to allow for some use and for evidence of impact to be available.

    Thank you for this Irene. It would be good to get a look at the materials you have produced. Would you be interested in joining a group, led by Gillian Brydson, looking at producing some guidlines re Impact using the Kirkpatrick and Gusky models?
