Students will receive a follow up survey (by phone or email) after the class to indicate any successes or personal achievements that were obtained by taking the class. Staff will evaluate the training they receive through a survey at the conclusion of the training to determine if they are better prepared to teach computer classes. They will also evaluate each class they teach to note any successes or failures. Literacy tutors will evaluate the training they receive through a survey at the conclusion of the training. They will indicate if they are more equipped to use computers with their students. They will also receive a follow up survey after the training to indicate any success with their student(s).
