Finding from the interview study: one staff member described drafting attendance and feedback reports for a manager and a foundation funder. The article states the purpose of assessment is "inextri- cably linked to its intended audience," distinguishing internal stakeholders (learners, educators) from external ones (caregivers, boards, funders).

"The purpose of assessment is inextri- cably linked to its intended audience and those who will be impacted by the assessment."
