Figure 2: Summary of Kirkpatrick Model
Level 1, Reaction, provides data on what the training participants thought of the training. The district collects informal data on teacher reaction to their trainings through the use of a reflection form. Level 2, Learning, measures the increase in skill level, knowledge, or capability of using a new tool. TTT PT Mod 3 participants’ skills are measured using a rubric to assess successful completion of their training (Appendix C). Kirkpatrick’s Level 3, Behavior, is when the

(Paradise & Patel, 2009). This study will review existing data on all levels; although the main focus is to collect data on Kirkpatrick’s Level 3 to identify transfer of learning from the TTT PT Mod 3 training.
Donald Kirkpatrick and his son, Jim, co-authored Transferring Learning Behavior (2005) which concentrated on Kirpatrick’s Level 3 Behavior. The researcher in this TTT study will obtain data on the transfer of learning and possible changes in the teachers’ behaviors as a result of completing the TTT PT Mod 3 training. Focusing on Level 3 is so critical because as Kirkpatrick (2009), stated “unless that training gets used on the job, it 's really worthless." The researcher of this study will survey training participants after they have graduated from the TTT program to provide insight into whether learning transfer has occurred by measuring the frequency of implementation of the technology tool presented in PT Mod 3 when teacher return to their work site.
The Kirkpatrick model has been applied to evaluate numerous training programs over the past 50 years. The Lay Trainer Learning program required trainers to use their own experiences as caregivers to train other family caregivers. (Conceição, Johaningsmeir, Colby, Gordon, 2014)
Learning: By applying the rubric to the assessment, I am able to see Johns’ understanding or lack thereof. His work allows me to see where he is in terms of progression of the concept while also allowing me to see the need for adjustments to instruction. Because I am able to see his work, I can go ahead and make decisions regarding and instruction adjustments that may need to
TSS). Over the last two years, staff has received training in CITW strategies, which support s and provides best practice instructional strategies for the core instruction of our MTSS model. In addition, the district emphasizes that staff utilize a variety of data to inform instruction at all levels of support.
The number of observations that TEAM teachers receive is dependent upon two main criteria; whether or they are an apprentice teacher or a professional teacher, and what their previous evaluation scores were determined to be. The goal for all teachers is to obtain a score of five in all categories. These categories are divided into three main areas: instruction, planning, and environment. These three main categories are then divided into subcategories. Instruction contains twelve subcategories, planning has three subcategories, and environment has four in which teacher are evaluated. Before evaluations begin teachers are provided with a rubric that specifically outlines the expectations for each category and how each score will be determined. Apprentice teachers who obtain scores between a one and a four must be observed a minimum of four times with half of these observations being unannounced. Apprentice teachers who score a five are only required to have one observation the following semester. Professional teachers who score a one must have four classroom observations, those who score between a two and four must have two observations, and those who score a five only require one additional observation (TEAM-TN | A Tennessee Department of Education Website"
The teaching/training cycle is an invaluable model that should inform the practice of any teacher, of any subject. The beauty of it is that it provides a structure so that both teachers and trainers can assess and refresh their practice and, at the same time, review their role, responsibility and boundaries. By following the training cycle, teachers should be able to instill greater understanding of the course that is being taught and to afford students greater enjoyment and satisfaction.
The teaching training cycle begins with an initial assessment of the learners, where we must identify individual needs, such as special needs and learning styles.
TDA 3.7 Support assessment for learning Assessment task – TDA 3.7 Support assessment for learning Task links to learning outcome 1, assessment criteria 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5. 1.1 compare the roles of the teacher and the learning support practitioner in assessment of learners’ achievement. The roles of Teachers and Learning Support Practitioners (LSP’s) are similar in that they are both continuingly monitoring the progress and achievements of the learner.
IPTS 4E: knows how to assess the instructional environment to determine how best to meet a student’s individual needs. Performance Activity 46: Describe how the teacher assesses for student understanding as he/she teaches. During the days I am at Heritage Grove Middle School, I observe my cooperating teacher conduct informal formative assessments.
Phase 3: Lesson plan implementation with treatment. During phase three, both EG and CG will perform the lesson plan using the new topics covered in the protocol and using their assigned note-taking method. The CG participants will be given the instructions that they are to take traditional notes by copying what is given on the PPT slides. After completion of lecture each day, both groups will be allowed a 15 minute review time. EG participants will work with a partner to review their notes and make adjustments as needed. CG participants will review their notes independently and make adjustments as needed without
As I reflect upon the training received, it can almost be broken down in terms of layers of psychological and behavioural changes
Tracking and Training Evaluation; “Tracking and evaluating training effectiveness consumes valuable time and resources. It is essential to all healthcare organization to use a method that will incorporate its time and resources.’’ (Business Performance, 2011) “The Kirkpatrick is the most well-known and used model for measuring the effectiveness of training programs. “ (Business Performance, 2011) This program was developed in the late 1950s by a man named Donald Kirkpatrick. He was an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin, where he received BBA, MBA and a PhD. Kirkpatrick have consulted with several well-known and large corporations. His 1994 book Evaluating Training Programs characterizes his initially printed work of 1959, therefore broadening the increasing awareness of them. His
At the end of the first training session, teachers would know what the school-wide expected behaviors and the incentives for the desired behaviors. The teachers would also know the Intensity I behaviors and the corrective actions for and consequences of those behaviors. The staff would receive training in how to administer those corrective actions properly. In a large group setting, the teachers would receive handouts and a classroom poster of the behavioral matrix. The administrator would then show a PowerPoint presentation on the Intensity I behaviors, briefly explaining each. Then the administrator would speak about possible corrective actions, making it clear that the teacher action can vary from student to student; the action is chosen by the teacher to achieve the desired result from that child as quickly as possible. This portion of the profession development would last thirty minutes. The staff would then break into small groups to role play responding to the Intensity I behaviors. For this activity, each group would have slips of paper with an Intensity I behaviors on them. Each teacher would pick a behavior at random to act out, while another teacher in the same group would have to respond to that behavior. The teachers could then provide feedback to each other. This portion of the professional development would also take thirty minutes. Then the
Teaching is an extremely important profession as we are responsible for training up the future generations of our community, country and in effect, the world. In order to be a successful and effective teacher there are some basic skills and competencies that one must possess. The experiences that students have inside (and outside) our classrooms, schools and various other institutes will shape and mould their approach to our subjects and to life in general. Therefore, it requires a certain level of skill and training to be deemed professionally fit to enter into this career path and even then, continuous
This intervention follows a three-tiered approach to assess the student’s process of learning. School educators such as general or special education teachers will provide services of intervention during each tiered approach to check the progress of learning. During each tier teacher assess the progress of the student’s skills to determine if an intervention is working or not working. All elementary students should undergo observations in this form of intervention to identify their level of understanding.
Using data collected from caregiver assessments and observations, provide needed psychoeducation for caregivers (topics may include positive parenting and appropriate consequences, strategies to increase parental sensitive and responsive to child’s needs, empathy building, consistency of parenting between parents, modelling of appropriate behaviour, and effective community)
There are several reasons why this particular intervention method is being used. The number on reason is due to its’ effectiveness. There have been high satisfaction rates given by caregivers in regards to this program. In 2011, a study done of 64 caregivers reported that 96.7% reported that they had learned new skills from the program. 98.4% of the participants reported that they would recommend this intervention program to a friend.
