Fathers and Continuous Learning in Child Welfare Project

Instrument 10: Learning Session Overall Evaluation

A Breakthrough Series Collaborative for

Engaging Fathers and Paternal Relatives in Child Welfare

The purpose of the information collection is to get feedback on improvement team members’ experiences with each of the three learning sessions that will take place over the course of the project. The Learning Session Overall Evaluation collects information on participants’ general perceptions of the learning sessions.

It will be administered three times. The FCL project team will analyze this information to determine whether the training and support provided to the improvement teams worked well and whether the FCL project team was responsive to the improvement teams.

The average estimated public reporting burden for this collection of information is about 15 minutes per response. Providing this information is voluntary, and all responses that are collected will be kept private to the extent permitted by law.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB number for this information collection is 0970-0531 and the expiration date is 07/31/2022.
