Instructions:
In Step 1, you’ll use the Training Evaluation Framework Template to
write in and review the anticipated outcomes of the training
intervention you are evaluating. The Template is a “blank” copy of
the Framework.
There are several ways to use this template. You can use the fillable
PDF form on your computer, you can type directly into the Word
version, or you can print the form out to complete on paper.
The colored arrows on the Framework Template outline four types of
You may wish to review the TEFT website for a reminder of how the
components of the Framework fit together. The Framework is a
variation on a typical logic model. It visually represents a causal chain
of outcomes resulting from a health care worker training program.
You can also think of this causal chain in terms of some
simple IF → THEN statements.*
To think through what you want to put in the Framework arrows,
here are some questions to ask yourself for each step in the
logical flow:

outcomes resulting from in-service training:




Purple: Changes in the individual knowledge, attitudes, and
skills of trainees
Orange: Changes in on-the-job performance of trainees
Blue: Changes in patient health
Yellow: Systems changes



IF the training is conducted, THEN what, realistically, should
be the result for participants?
WHY do you believe the training will lead to the result?
WHAT evidence do you have that it will lead to this result?
IF that result happens, THEN what next? And why? Based on
what evidence?
