At Kindred, we take a holistic approach to evaluating every learning experience we create. Our evaluation plan blends both qualitative and quantitative feedback to ensure the course meets its goals and supports ongoing growth. We use Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation Model (Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results) as a foundation for measuring effectiveness and driving continuous improvement.
Below, you’ll find an interactive visualization showing how we applied Kirkpatrick’s Model to this course.
To further illustrate our evaluation methodology, we’ve included a data visualization outlining how qualitative data is collected and analyzed. Click on each interactive button below to learn about data sources for each stage, our reasoning for data collection, and how we analyze data for impact.
Data Analysis Plan
We designed a comprehensive data analysis plan that serves as a flexible template for any district or organization adopting this course, allowing for easy local adaptation. Our plan emphasizes equity, continuous improvement, and actionable insights, supporting both instructional quality and learner success.
Key elements include:
Key metrics to track
Data collection methods
Data preparation and integration
Data analysis framework and methods
Addressing challenges in data interpretation
Actionable insights and strategies for ongoing improvement
End-to-end data workflow
Reporting and review timeline
Appendix with templates and examples (such as teacher evaluation rubrics and data dictionaries) to ensure reliable and valid data collection

Looking Ahead: Continuous Growth and Collective Impact
As this project moves into the evaluation phase, our focus at Kindred shifts to what matters most—real-world learner success and lasting improvement. While the plan is ready for launch, our approach remains grounded in user feedback, rigorous quality assurance, and the lived experiences of educators and learners. Our goal is clear: to ensure the course truly meets its objectives and supports engagement and growth for every learner.
Each stage of our process reflects a user-centered, adaptive mindset—anticipating challenges and evolving solutions together. Our detailed evaluation framework demonstrates our commitment to gathering meaningful data, analyzing outcomes, and using those insights to strengthen and adapt the course over time.
Looking forward, this structured approach lays the foundation for ongoing innovation and adaptability. By fostering a continuous cycle of reflection and learning, we support equity, responsiveness, and sustained impact across diverse learning communities. For us, effective instructional design is always a collaborative journey, centered on learners, guided by feedback, and dedicated to quality at every stage.
