Evaluating Learning (Session 1)

Karen Ardley Associates are delighted to be offering this interactive programme in association with COBIS as part of their 2021/22 CPD Calendar.

The programme will look at research-based approaches to effective evaluation and the processes of the evaluation cycle. It will take place over two sessions of 1h30 and 2h respectively, plus 5-6 hours of additional online self-study.

The programme begins with the research-informed approaches to effective evaluation and the principles that ensure processes are purposeful, manageable, and formative.

We then explore the processes of the evaluation cycle which include a clarity of expectation or intent, types of high-quality evidence, evaluating and connecting evidence to ensure robust decision-making processes for next steps. 

Examples will be drawn from both in person and virtual learning contexts.
