In this Train the Trainer session, participants will learn methods to teach this process to non-evaluators modeled from our own experience in facilitating community coalitions. We will share tips, tools and resources that we currently use for teaching our co-workers, community partners and stakeholders how to use their data to make useful recommendations and action steps, while telling the whole story and keeping evaluation literacy in mind

All too often evaluations of training programs utilize “customer satisfaction” or “reaction” measures as the primary (or sole) tool for assessing the “effectiveness” of a particular training curriculum. This technique is often woefully inadequate, and does not allow the evaluator to fully understand the true impact of the training program on its participants and the systems in which they operate. In this session, a comprehensive evaluation methodology that was developed to assess the effectiveness and long-term impact of two NIMH-funded training curriculum development projects will be presented. Integral to the design of this evaluation is the assessment of short-term and long-term impact at both the individual and systems-level using a multi-modal data collection strategy
