Professional Development Evaluation

The OSTRC has conducted several conference and non-conference evaluations to assess the impact of professional development on out-of-school time staff.  Evaluating workshops and conferences is the first step to achieving the ultimate goal of professional development—improving student outcomes.

Professional Development Evaluation Toolkit:
The Out-of-School Time Resource Center (OSTRC) Survey Toolkit is a compilation of resources and research-based surveys to evaluate out-of-school time (OST) professional development (PD) workshops and conferences.  In addition to providing resources to create surveys, the Toolkit contains research-based surveys designed, tested, and used by the OSTRC.  The surveys may be either customized in collaboration with the OSTRC, or used as is, to evaluate OST professional development workshops and conferences. 

To request the OSTRC surveys, contact Lisa Colby, Senior Research Coordinator, at lcolby@sp2.upenn.edu
