Evaluating Child Welfare Training in Public Agencies: Status and Prospects
Collins, Mary Elizabeth
Evaluation and Program Planning, v31 n3 p241-246 Aug 2008
Although staff training in public child welfare agencies is thought to be a critical component of effective practice, little is known about the delivery and effectiveness of training interventions. Few evaluations are published in the literature and it is uncertain how much evaluation activity is being conducted and utilized. This study collected data from 48 public child welfare agencies in the United States regarding the conduct of training evaluation and the utilization of training data. The data are discussed within the context of planning the next steps for public agencies' efforts in training evaluation. (Contains 2 tables.)
