| Abstract: The US Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs on a competitive basis annually awards 41+ states about 48 million dollars to train special education and regular education professionals. One of six performance measures requires States to evaluate practices (e.g., mentoring, coaching, structured guidance, modeling, and continuous inquiry) that are in place and professionals are using to sustain learning acquired from this federally funded training initiative. Session attendees will learn how Wisconsin is using low cost Internet-based enumeration surveys to collect post-training data from multiple individuals within school-level work environments to inform this performance measure. Dr. Frasier is the Lead Evaluator of Wisconsin's annual 1.4 million dollar Office of Special Education Programs training grant (2002 - present). He received his doctorate in training and development, and evaluation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. |
