Abstract
Evaluation of the effectiveness of a teacher training program to prepare professional personnel is a difficult task. To accomplish this task, the graduate teacher training program in special education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill employed a three-level evaluation design. The three levels included documentation data related to the content of the MEd teacher training program; student satisfaction data for making judgments about the quality of the education and training provided; and performance data designed to assess teaching skills, professional knowledge, and abilities to develop professional products. A synthesis of data from these three levels is used to make informed decisions for improvements in the training program.
