"The authors' skills, knowledge and attitudes in evaluation of learning experiences are accessible, informed and personally engaging. This book serves as a working guide for my design and implementation of learning experiences for community workshops to college courses, and leadership training to educational support group facilitation with parents." "This is a short course in deepening Jane Vella's question "How Doe The Know They Know?' They just did it! They continue to do it and have convinced their organization to do more of it!" "Accountability! Accountability! Accountability! At last I have found here a usable means to not only ?know they know' during the training, but know what I teach makes a meaningful difference in the learner's work and impacts the organization positively." (Peter Perkins, director, Prevention Unlimited, Inc)

"Books such as this are useful reminders that as the need for training programs or competency-focused curricula grows, the competition also will increase, and the institutions with objective proof of their success will succeed over the long term." (Continuing Higher Education Review)
