Try again!
This describes training.
Correct!
This accurately describes facilitation, which starts with information about a problem and works towards an outcome.
- Quality follow-up support for PD requires:
Try again!

Try again!
The follow-up support continuum gives examples that do not require significant personnel resources.
Correct!
The follow-up support continuum provides examples to help you effectively allocate resources during the design phase.
- Which of the following statements about providing follow-up support is true?
Try again!
Follow-up support should be planned and scheduled ahead of time.
Correct!
It is important to develop a follow-up support timeline that includes providing support at appropriate intervals.
Try again!
Follow-up support should be planned before the training event, during the design phase.
- Which of the following should be the primary basis of a PD evaluation plan?
Try again!
While this may be helpful to have, it is not the primary basis of a good evaluation plan.
Try again!
While this may be helpful to use, it is not the primary basis of a good evaluation plan.
Correct!
Without clear learning objectives, it is difficult to evaluate learning.
- Evaluation can help you assess how participants use the information from your PD offerings …
Try again!
Evaluation can help assess how participants use information in the long term.
Correct!
Evaluation can assess how information is used in both the short and long term.
Try again!
Evaluation can help assess how participants use information immediately after training.
