Evaluation is one of the key aspects of the action inquiry approach, being used to inform further action at each stage of the cycle. The effectiveness of the project will be determined using the following methods at appropriate stages during the project.

• To evaluate whether participants have gained transferable skills in evaluation of CFL projects, they will be asked to describe their practice at the beginning and end of the project. Analysis of the differences will indicate the extent to which participants have developed new skills.
• The quality of participants' evaluation practices in respect to student learning outcomes will be gauged by analysis of reports from participants about the impact of CFL on student learning.
• To evaluate the usefulness of the action research process, participants will keep a journal which records their actions and reflections on that action. Analysis of journals will indicate the effectiveness of the action research process. Mentors and participants will be required to submit regular progress reports in an attempt to ensure the success of each evaluation project.
• Acceptance for publication of papers will provide evidence of the quality of participants' work.
• The staff development guide will be refined by feedback from mentors, outcomes from the action inquiry process and input from staff development experts.

Summative evaluation of the project will involve interviews with all participants and mentors. Further feedback will be sought from a colleague of each participant to provide objective evidence of new ways of practising evaluation. Additionally, independent observers will be asked to provide written feedback on the participants' workshops.
