Impact Evaluation
- In Fiscal Year 2008-09, TeamSTEPPs® will:
- Continue to collect quantitative data for Level 1 and Level 2 evaluation.
- Develop and implement standardized Level 3 & 4 assessment tools.
- Include sustainment as part of system-wide evaluation.
Below the text is a pyramid-structured set of levels with each level bigger than the next.
Kirkpatrick's Model:
- Level 5—Return on Investment.
Was the training worth the cost? - Level 4—Results.
Did the change in behavior positively affect the organization? - Level 3—Behavior/Training Transfer.
Did the participants change their behavior on-the-job based on what they learned? - Level 2—Learning
What skills, knowledge, or attitudes changed after training?
By how much? - Level 1—Reaction
Did the participants like the training?
What do they plan to do with what they learned?
