Event: Evaluator Competencies: Standards for the Practice of Evaluation in Organizations

Various professionals and managers within organizations are increasingly called upon to undertake evaluations of learning, performance, and change initiatives. This can arise because of pressure from executives, and it can also indicate a growing awareness of the importance of evaluation in determining both tactical and strategic directions for an organization. Given this increasing level of importance, we might ask: What are the knowledge and skills (or competencies) needed to undertake such evaluation?

The International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction (ibstpi®) recognizing a need for the development and validation of evaluator competencies commissioned a global validation effort in 2004. This effort resulted in a comprehensive set of competencies that internal staff or external consultants conducting evaluations must demonstrate regardless of the setting in which they work (for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, public schools/universities, the military, and government agencies). The development and validation effort followed the ibstpi procedures previously undertaken for instructors, instructional designers, and training managers.

This interactive session will provide participants with an opportunity to understand the competency development approach, review the set of evaluator competencies and performance statements developed through this method, and suggest opportunities for use of the competencies. Lunch is included in this event.
