Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Staff development programs can be evaluated with formative, summative and longitudinal evaluation measurements. Formative evaluations reflect class, or course, participant feedback during the course of the program; summative evaluation measures the outcomes of the education immediately after the class, and longitudinal evaluation measures the outcome of the education over time (retained knowledge or retained competency). The most complete evaluation includes all three types of evaluation.
