	<TITLE>Assessing Impact:  Evaluating Staff Development</TITLE>
	<ABSTRACT>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'&quot;&gt;Drawing on her landmark book &amp;quot;Assessing Impact, Evaluating Staff Development&amp;quot; (2002), NSDC's Joellen Killion describes eight steps that educators can use to assess and refine their professional learning programs (Journal of Staff Development, September 2003). If you download the PDF version, you can take advantage of a bonus &amp;quot;Toolkit&amp;quot; that summarizes the eight steps in an easy-to-use two-page outline, with worksheets that school teams can use to set goals and objectives, develop a plan, and create an evaluation framework. Join the National Staff Development Council and you'll get their consistently excellent materials in the mail!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
