Is the training program a quality program? Does it follow... The Principles and Process of Good Training Development & Delivery • Training Needs Assessment • Establish Learning Objectives • Content • Delivery • Evaluation

Assessment of Training Needs • In order to be effective, a training must be based on the needs of the trainees, and the “needs” or goals of the organization. • Identify “The Gap” -- between what skills employees actually have --and what they should be • Who should determine need for training? Management, trainees themselves, co-workers, specialists in the field,…
Establishing Learning Objectives • Skills-based or competency-based objectives • Knowledge-Based objectives: more likely to include what the learner will understand or be able to explain • Attitudes: individual attitudes needed to fully perform
Learning Objectives Competency goals should be: • Behaviorally anchored • Observable • Forward-thinking • Discrete • User-friendly Example: Supervisor frequently gives accurate and specific feedback to subordinates about their performance. Hackett
Training Content • Does content meet best practices established by leading organizations in the field of juvenile confinement? (NIC, NJDA, CJCA, NCCHC) • Does the content cover the needs of staff? • Does it accurately reflect local policies and procedures? • Is the content timely? Does it reflect current research and theory?
Training Delivery • Meets the needs of all learning styles – active/kinetic, visual, social, audio • Covers all parts of the learning cycle – perceiving, reflecting, applying, creating • Organized presentation • Positive learning environment • Empathetic, knowledgeable, professional trainers • Et cetera
Training Evaluation: Does the training actually work? • Does the training leave your staff feel more motivated, more confident, more knowledgeable? • Does the training affect the way staff do their job? How are youth affected by the change? • Is it causing the change in staff’s performance that we want? To the degree that we want?
Evaluating Training Effectiveness: Kirkpatrick’s 4 levels Level 4: Results Level 3: Behavior Change Level 2: Learning Level 1: Reaction
Level 1 Evaluation: Reaction Training Evaluation • Did you like this training? • Was the material relevant to your job? • Was the trainer knowledgeable? • What do you think was the most important thing you learned? • Are the handouts helpful? • Comments: _______________ A positive reaction does not guarantee learning, but a negative reaction almost certainly reduces its possibility.
Level 2 Evaluation: Learning Other methods can be less formal, such as trainer observations during practice, team assessments, or self-assessments.
Level 3 Evaluation – Behavior Change on the Job • Guidelines: • Use a control group if practical • Evaluate both before and after the training if possible • Survey and/or interview people who can observe the behavior • Get 100 percent response or a random sampling • Repeat the evaluation at appropriate times including after allowing a time lapse
Level 4 Evaluation: Organizational Impact • Measures broad-based changes in areas that are important to the agency as a whole, such as: • decreased legal costs • Safety improvements • Increased arrests • Compare measures before and after training. • Complicated and Expensive
