An evaluation of the Professional Development Support for Sustainability Educators Stage 2
In September 2006 an evaluation of Stage 2 was conducted by Dr. Brian Sharpley. The report titled 'An evaluation of the Professional Development Support for Sustainability Educators Stage 2: Fostering a Community of Experienced Sustainability Facilitators' details the outcomes of practical application of the modules created in Stage 1. This involved piloting the modules with a variety of groups through a series of workshops.

This report uses two major sources of data to gain an understanding into the outcomes of Stage 2. The first source of data was gathered by conducting interviews with 10 sustainability facilitators who were involved in Stage 2 of the project, and the second was colecting participant evaluations at the completion of the pilot workshops.
