Public reporting burden is estimated to average 13 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Please note that 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 control number for this collection is 2125-XXXX.

L32C Interdisciplinary TIM Training Post-Course Assessment Tool

Level 3 Questions – Supervisors of Training Participants

This level measures whether on-the-job behavior changes have occurred as a result of students attending the training, and if so, to what extent. Trainees, their immediate supervisors, their subordinates, or peers who often observe their behaviors may be asked to participate in this level of evaluation. The degree of assessment difficulty is increased at this level because behavior changes often take time, and the “right” environment must be provided for the students to implement their behavior changes. Additionally, those who participate in this evaluation would need to be observant to note the behavior changes that took place.
