• Third Piloting phase was conducted Fall 2009
• Full implementation: Fall 2010
FPPAI Piloting Phases
• 55 Likert Scale questions measuring practice behaviors linked to the EPAS 2008 competencies.
• Qualitative feedback form for each domain available for program use.
• Will be available online and in print format.
• Individual program outcomes report with national comparisons.
• Individual program outcomes report with national comparisons for EPAS 2008 Competencies & Practice Behaviors
• Can be used as a final field assessment and mid-test/post test design.
