| Abstract: What does it look like when "they get it?" When training, learning, or educational programs are chosen as means to goals of improved achievement, performance or understanding, valid measurement of effect becomes problematic. The constructs are difficult to define, often due to the range of values of the stakeholders, and the limitations of evaluators to align outcomes to reliable tools. This session will focus on the use of collaborative rubric-building as a means to illuminate constituent perspectives, and come to common understanding regarding expected outcomes from education as intervention. This session will provide hands-on experience for evaluators to create and utilize instructionally sensitive, collaboratively designed rubrics, and a process to facilitate stakeholder participation in producing clearer answers to the question, "What will it look like if this training, curriculum, workshop, seminar, program, or school works as intended - and what do we need to do together to make that happen?" |
