It?s my pleasure to let you know that the new issue of “The Evaluation Exchange,” Harvard Family Research Project’s quarterly publication, is now available on our website.

Topic: Professional Development

This issue focuses on evaluating professional development across a range of fields, including after school and youth development, education, early childhood education, and child welfare.

What’s Inside

Included in the issue is a Questions & Answers feature with Thomas Guskey, who describes his five-level model for evaluating professional development. Many authors share innovative methods in professional development and many others give practical tools for measuring their impact. You?ll also find links between professional development and program quality as well as a discussion about the role of organizations in supporting professional development and positive outcomes.
