To do this consistently and without hesitation, SDSs must learn to gather evidence and report on that evidence in a confident manner.
Let's start by adhering to a template that helps guide program analysis in a way that focuses on evidence-based practice (EBP) in staff development. Each staff responsibility, whether it's education implementation or committee membership, should be analyzed. Look at the responsibility, objective findings, and comments and recommended revisions.
