The Warner Center for Professional Development and Education Reform serves as a valuable resource to support the program evaluation needs of K-12, higher education, and community organizations. Faculty and staff from the Center also teach courses in the program.
Program director and faculty member Karen DeAngelis led a rigorous and in-depth cost-benefit evaluation of this landmark Rochester initiative. Results of the evaluation were provided to numerous stakeholder groups – including for profit, not-for-profit, as well as private and public entities from across the Rochester region.
