Hi Joyce - We have not done a research study on public schools but the Imagine America Foundation (a non-profit organization affiliated with the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities) commissioned an independent case study to measure the impact of faculty development in a proprietary school setting. The program evaluated was based on the MaxKnowledge faculty training courses offered through the Center for Excellence in Education. The evaluation was conducted by the ROI Institute, an organization that specializes in measuring the impact of training programs and is recognized by the American Society for Training and Development. The case study was conducted at the Universal Technical Institute and included training evaluation at various assessment levels. The case study showed very positive results. The report is available on the Imagine America Foundation website:
