 * //How do you know the extent to which faculty utilize their training for the purposes of improving student outcomes?//**


 * We should be able to tell by student outcomes whether faculty are using the technology.
 * **[| USEiT Report 12, Measuring Teachers' Technology Uses: Why Multiple Measures are More Revealing]** suggests use of separate survey items which focus on specific areas of technology use. Their findings indicate that "the use of distinct measures versus a generic measure provides a richer, more nuanced understanding of how technology use differs across factors such as teacher tenure, school type, and subject area taught."
 * Sun Associates suggests this sample evaluation rubric:http://www.sun-associates.com/eval/samples/samprub.html. (It strikes me as somewhat dated)
 * The U.S. Department of Education provides **[|An Educator's Guide to Evaluating the Use of Technology in Schools and Classrooms]** (also somewhat dated, but includes interesting rubrics)
 * Including technology use in teacher evaluations seems critical to answering this question.
 * It appears that technology use is a part of many student teacher evaluations, far more so than evaluations of current teachers.
 * In his article **[|"Technology Skills as a Criterion in Teacher Evaluation"]**, David Whale reports that in a study of 220 schools, only one fifth specifically address technology skills.
