The Schools Attuned Program Core Course: 2004 Participant Evaluation. Executive Summary
All Kinds of Minds
This executive summary presents program evaluation outcomes for the Core Course component of the Schools Attuned Program. Core Courses occurred in sites across the United States, Canada and in Zurich, Switzerland throughout 2004. Analyses are based on information from the Schools Attuned Participant Core Course Survey and Schools Attuned Facilitator Profile --- Participant's View. The intent of this evaluation is to assure program quality and inform program development. Participants used the Core Course Survey, administered near the end of the last day of the Course, to rate the quality of various dimensions of the program and to provide their comments and recommendations for the Core Course and follow-up assistance. A total of 5,962 educators completed the survey in 2004. Participants were asked to provide additional comments on numerous aspects of the Course. When comments were analyzed for content, several themes emerged including the quality and value of the Course and the impact of the Course on professional practice. A sampling of participant comments, which are illustrative of these particular themes, is given. The Schools Attuned staff from All Kinds of Minds uses the results included in this report to inform subsequent Core Course training sessions, guide follow-up Practicum, and enhance the professional development of facilitators.
