Evidence-Based Correctional Program Evaluation Methods instruct participants on the research and tools used to assess the effectiveness of programmatic interventions. The goal is to help staff develop the competencies, experience, and skills needed to effectively facilitate institutional and community-based correctional enhancement through effective program assessment.
Evidence-Based Correctional Program Evaluation Methods instruct participants on the research and tools used to assess the effectiveness of programmatic interventions. The goal is to help staff develop the competencies, experience, and skills needed to effectively facilitate institutional and community-based correctional enhancement through effective program assessment.
This training is for those who work with program assessment, including social workers, counselors, caseworkers, probation officers, correctional officers, supervisors, and others who are concerned about effective programming and offender outcomes. This training is especially helpful for those who are responsible for reducing offender risk and recidivism.
Participants shadow faculty-trainers to conduct a CPEM audit of one (or more) programs. As part of the instruction, they are led to debrief the process. Much of the CPEM process involves one-on-one interviews with many of the program staff, as well as a close, careful review of programming materials (manuals, curricula, policies & procedures, files). After the program assessment has been completed the trainers review everything that was done during the assessment process, score the effort using CPEM, explain what happens next, and answer questions from the trainees.
Following on-site training, the trainers prepare a CPEM Report for each program that was assessed during the training session. The report is provided to all trainees so that they can see and understand the results.
One of the crucial parts of the report is the Recommendations section, it contains specific ways in which the program can improve areas of weakness that were revealed via the CPEM process. The program evaluators (trainees) should be in a position to offer assistance and advice to the programs regarding the ways in which changes should be made to improve the program.
Participants will gain an understanding of the techniques that will allow them to implement effective strategies in assessing treatment programs.
The goal of the training is for participants to walk away with tools and resources that would allow for improved program assessments within the department or county. To facilitate this goal, participants will engage in group training and exercises throughout the course of the workshop.
This type of training is designed for anyone who works with program assessment, including social workers, counselors, caseworkers, probation officers, correctional officers, supervisors, and others who are concerned about effective programming and offender outcomes. This training is especially helpful for those who are responsible for reducing offender risk and recidivism.
