Kirkpatrick is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, where he taught at the Management Institute for 30 years.
Since its creation in 1959, Donald Kirkpatrick's four-level model for evaluating training programs has become the most widely used approach to training evaluation in the corporate, government, and academic worlds. This new edition includes revisions and updates of the existing material, plus new case studies that show the four-level model in action.
