Detailed Description: Self-Efficacy, or a person's belief in their capabilities, is one of the strongest predictors of behavior, and is increasingly being recognized as a principle outcome of interest for leadership development, counseling and coaching, adventure-learning, and education. The PCFI is a psychometrically sound, practical, and applicable outcomes tool to measure changes in social-emotional competencies. Available in several convenient formats, including on-line, the PCFI is being used by numerous programs around the world to document impact, demonstrate results, obtain funding, and gain a market advantage. This course covers the theory and science behind the PCFI, the basics of evidence-based outcomes research, how to interpret and apply PCFI results, and how to use the PCFI as an integral part of ongoing performance improvement activities.
