Afterall, the training industry has had the Kirkpatrick Four Levels of Evaulation for fifty (50) years now!
The question is, how many learning & performance professionals know how to do them right?
The research shows - not many. :-/
So I'm launching a Measurement & Evaluation Extravaganza on this blog. It's meant to help all learning & performance professionals to gain mastery over this area, and to assist ASTD Certified Professional in Learning & Performance (CPLP) candidates to prep for the CPLP Knowledge Exam.
Let's start with Kirkpatrick's Level 1 Evaluation... When should you use Level 1? What does a valid Level 1 Evaluation look like? When is it inappropriate to use Level 1?
Ken Phillips, Ph.D., CPLP - founder and President of Phillips Associates - is a learning & performance measurement & evaluation expert.
Ken has a knack for helping us regular humans understand when, where & how to measure, evaluate, summarize & report.
Ken has written a series of articles on the subject - I've included regarding Level 1 Evaluations below.
Those attending the ASTD International Conference & Exposition (ASTD ICE) here in Chicago, well, you'll have an opportunity to meet Ken too - he's presenting on the subject of measurement & evaluation at the conference.
BTW - if you would like a copy of Ken's article, please contact Ken directly. You'll find Ken's contact information contained within the article below.

On the heels of ASTD TechKnowledge 2010 in Las Vegas, things are popping in San Diego with the pre-conference start of the 2010 Training Conference & Expo hosted by Training magazine.
This conference represents another amazing event and professional development opportunity for learning professionals from around the world!
I am - once again - restricted to the Chicago area because of my local responsibilities (I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin') so - in an effort to keep up without feeling left out of the fun out west in San Diego, I'm tracking the conference proceedings on Twitter and via other social media applications.
Embedded below is a transcript of the 2010 Training Conference pre-conference Twitterstream from dates 1/29 through 1/31.
For those ASTD Certified Professional in Learning & Performance (CPLP) candidates preparing for the CPLP Knowledge Exam who like to use Twitter, consider paying attention to the following 2010 Training Conference presenters.
Their material could help you improve your exam scores:

Managing Organizational Knowledge: Lori Silverman (ask Lori about the use of story)

And a shout out to friends & colleagues presenting - whose work is not (yet!) part of the body of knowledge upon which the CPLP is based, but who are cooler than ice cream & deeper than pockets - see Amy Hand, Bjorn Billhardt & Joel MacCharles. :-)
If you're CPLP certified and attending 2010 Training Conference & Expo, don't forget to keep your conference guide, receipt & information about the sessions you attended - you can submit it all for recertification points!
