Family Support Training Assessment (FSTA)

Project includes evaluation of the training provided to family support workers within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Kent School researchers will assist with curriculum development, developing pre- and post-tests of training content, and writing behavioral anchors that align with each curriculum.  Cabinet trainees in Adult Medical Basic, Food Benefits Basic, and K-TAP Basic are measured on their knowledge of the training content. A pre-training questionnaire is also completed that addresses several measures including gender, race, education, length of employment, geographic location, rank/position, perceived job satisfaction, learning readiness, personality traits, and supervisor and co-worker support.  In addition, the project will assist in aligning training curriculum with behavioral anchors that can be measured on the job to track the impact of training on agency outcomes. The Family Related Medical training is currently in the process of being aligned with behavioral anchors.
