| Abstract:
Frequently decisions have to be made about program continuation when initial funding for the program is ended or reduced. When such decisions must be made about multiple programs competing for limited ongoing funding, considerations of program effectiveness, cost, and popularity must be taken into account by decision makers. Evaluators can assist stakeholders to identify the relevant factors and provide data that will assist in making sometimes difficult choices among programs. This presentation will describe a process that assists stakeholders to identify specific factors that should be taken into account, the relative weight of each factor in contributing to decision making, and a method of measuring each factor.

| Abstract:
This roundtable will address the topic of transfer of learning in child welfare training. Because training is considered one of the key drivers for implementing practice and policy changes in an organization, evaluators must have a good understanding of the individual and organizational climate factors that influence learning and the transfer of learning to the job. Facilitators will discuss how Holton’s (1996) model of transfer and Learning Transfer Systems Inventory is being used for a training evaluation of the National Child Welfare Workforce Institute’s leadership academy for supervisors and managers, and describe the design, methods and preliminary results of this ongoing evaluation. Participants will be invited to share models for conceptually understanding transfer of learning and innovative strategies for measuring transfer of learning outcomes.
