Welcome to TED
Welcome to TED, the Training Evaluation Database (TED) created by CalSTAT`s SG Evaluation Team on behalf of the California Department of Education (CDE) — Special Education Division.
TED is a one-stop database for all your training and technical assistance information collection needs. Just a few of the many capabilities that have been incorporated into this user-friendly program include:
- Track events across multiple funding sources
- Participant registration
- Participant payment tracking
- Printable event roster and nametags
- Mailing labels
- Email lists by type of participant
- Event certificate of completion
- Continuing education units and hours
- Presenter database
- Event evaluation form
- Evaluation entry
- Reports at the click of a button
TED uses FileMaker Pro 7, and can be accessed on either Windows or Mac computers. It can be used as either a single- or multiple-user program to fit the dynamics of any office.
The following are several screen shots that show the interface of the program.
For each event that you enter into TED, you can track the registered participants, the presenters, the evaluations completed at the end of an event, and the topics presented at the training by choosing the tabs that function like file folders.
Participants
In the Participants tab easily search through your database of participants and add people to your roster of registered participants. From here you can print out event rosters, nametags, mailing labels, certificates of completion, and email lists. You can also track the additional needs of participants, such as the need for wheelchair access or a sign-language interpreter.
Presenters
In the Presenters tab easily search through your database of presenters and assign them to events. From here you can go into the Presenter Database and edit their information, track the events at which they were a trainer, and monitor the ratings they receive on evaluations.
Evaluations
In the Evaluations tab you can print an evaluation form for copying prior to the training, easily enter the event evaluations collected at the end of your training, and view the total number of evaluations that were completed.
Reports
In the Reports tab easily view and print pre-programmed reports summarizing event details, attendance, and ratings from event evaluations. From here you can choose to view and print a report on a single event, on multiple events of your choice, or summary reports on the participants from a specified organization such as a district or school.
This is an example report for a single event. Included in the report are the event’s details, attendance, summarized ratings from the event evaluations, a pie chart showing the distribution of roles in attendance, a bar chart showing the distribution of the participant responses to the event evaluations, and a line chart showing the average responses to the event evaluations.
This is an example report listing events by the primary topic presented at the trainings. This report is a summary of the trainings provided, the date they occurred, the presenter, the overall rating, and the breakdown of participant roles represented at the training.
