CDC Contract Task 5: Develop a knowledge based testing program and certification process to evaluate primary participant knowledge • E-module progress checks

• Train-the-Trainer participation and “capstone” presentations at their local hubs will act as their Certification

• Capstone Activity: culminates with actual live presentations by the participants “teaching” not telling other participants about a skill.

CDC Contract Task 6: Program Evaluation of Effectiveness

• All components of the curriculum evaluated.

• End Learners participate in numerous activities throughout the live sessions in order for the trainer to gauge their comprehension and ability to execute.

• eLearning modules have embedded questions/progress checks to keep the learner engaged. A comprehension test is included at the end of each module.

• Evaluations rolled up to AMCA for analysis and decision-making.
