This collection of information is voluntary and will be used to validate the effectiveness of, and assess the value of the National Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Responder Training Program. Public reporting burden is estimated to average 13 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 2125-XXXX. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer, Michael Howell, Michael.howell@dot.gov, 202 366-5707, Federal Highway Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, E66-233, Washington, DC 20590.
L32C Interdisciplinary TIM Training Post-Course Assessment Tool
Level 3 Questions – Supervisors of Training Participants
This level measures whether on-the-job behavior changes have occurred as a result of students attending the training, and if so, to what extent. Trainees, their immediate supervisors, their subordinates, or peers who often observe their behaviors may be asked to participate in this level of evaluation. The degree of assessment difficulty is increased at this level because behavior changes often take time, and the “right” environment must be provided for the students to implement their behavior changes. Additionally, those who participate in this evaluation would need to be observant to note the behavior changes that took place.
