Recent Evaluation Feedback on our Onsite Workshops
At the close of every LDS Workshop since we’ve started, we have attendees complete a comprehensive review. From your perspective, a peek at the evaluation form itself should reassure you that the LDS professional education system is right on track!
Our training programs have never been static: we continually update the content and program design based on current research – and your feedback! We’re extremely proud of our record for all areas of this evaluation process. We insert some of review comments throughout the site. Since you frequently ask, here are specifics from recent events:
