Title: Improve the Effectiveness of your training: How to create and use evaluations to improve outcomes

Trainers: Candace Storrer and Bambi Cliffe

Training Length: 1.5 hours

Description: Have you ever wondered if your participants are retaining the knowledge you shared with them through training? This session will help you create evaluations that will analyze the effectiveness of training. A deep dive into the four levels of evaluation will clarify the importance of each level. Participants will identify and compare each level while they create an evaluation plan that will highlight training successes and needs. The knowledge gained in this session will elevate participants’ ability to create, measure, and follow up with training. Using skills gained from this session, participants will be able to create high-quality, thoughtful evaluations that will impact training and training outcomes.

Training Outcomes:

1) Identify and compare the value of the 4 Levels of Evaluation based on research

2) Examine the importance of all levels of evaluation

3) Explore the levels of evaluation and compose questions for each level.

Title: End your training on a high note: Strategies for maximum retention and behavior change

Trainers: April Brown and Sharon Norris

Training length: 90 minutes

Description:

The intent of professional development is to result in workplace behavior change, and how you close your training directly impacts how successfully participants use their new knowledge and skills. In this session, you will learn proven strategies to “conduct” the ending portion of your training to support maximum retention and transfer of learning.

Training Outcome:

1. Develop summary activities for retention, reflection and engagement.
2. Plan transfer of learning activities to support learners in successfully using what they have learned when they return to their workplaces.
3. Explain how periodic learning boosts help maintain your participants’ motivation and offset the “curve of forgetting”.
