Reflections. The first instrument used to collect data is the TTT PT Mod 3 reflections which are submitted by each training participant at the end of the TTT PT Mod 3 training session. Teachers are asked to submit two statements that measure teachers’ attitude and intentions to use the TTT PT Mod 3 technology tool. The teachers are asked to submit a reflection statement on the benefits of the technology tool presented in the training; and a reflection statement of a plan outlining at least two strategies for the use of Prezi. This instrument was created by the district program coordinator and included as a required task to complete their training sessions. This instrument is distributed at the beginning of the training session and collected

The second instrument to collect data in this program evaluation is the assessment rubric used by TTT trainers to measure skills mastered from the training task submissions. This rubric was formulated by the TTT trainers and district coordinator and aligns directly to module objectives. The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) approved of the task and rubrics as part of the approval process for district alternative certification programs. The approval from the FLDOE provides validity and reliability that the tasks and assessment tools are directly aligned to the program expected outcomes. Each training participant submits their evidence of learned skills to the trainer within 3-4 weeks of the conclusion of their training session. The rubric (Appendix C) contains 11 assessment items directly aligned to the module objectives. The rating scale for each item is measured by A = Acceptable; M = Marginal; U = Unacceptable. To pass this final training module and complete the TTT program the teachers must score 8 or more acceptable ratings with zero unacceptable ratings. This instrument will be used to collect secondary data and will help support the Kirkpatrick level 2 to measure learning during the …show more content…
(Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick, 2009) The Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model consists of four levels: Level 1 Reaction, Level 2 Learning, Level 3 Behavior, and Level 4 Results. The TTT program coordinator collects data on teachers’ reflections of the training (Level 1); teachers’ extent of learning during the training (Level 2), and program results (Level 4) by measuring the number of graduates from the program. No data exists on Kirkpatrick’s Level 3 Behavior. During this study, qualitative data will be collected on teachers’ behaviors (Level 3) to measure frequency of use of the technology tool, Prezi, and identify any significant relationship between variables that may influence the use of
