To ensure the quality of the training program and its ability to meet the ongoing needs of the child care community, steps have been taken to evaluate the project during its piloting phase. Pre and post training surveys have been conducted ,as well as, satisfaction surveys immediately following the workshop itself. Data continues to be collected at this time. An evaluation report will be produced following the six month evaluation of the project (projected completion date: April 1, 2004). A printable copy of the report will be available on this site. For further questions related to the evaluation of the Building Blocks: Strategies for Inclusion Training Project please contact Joan Versnel buildingblocks@progresscentre.com .
