__________ allow(s) an instructor to determine the success of an education program.

Evaluations are vital tools for instructors to assess the effectiveness of an educational program. They provide structured feedback from participants on various aspects of the instruction, such as clarity of content, engagement levels, and relevance of information. By analyzing this feedback, an instructor can gauge not only how well participants understood the material but also areas that may need improvement in future presentations.

Attendance alone provides information about participation but does not reflect how well the educational objectives were achieved. Conferences may offer networking opportunities and additional learning, but they do not directly measure the success of a specific educational program. A pretest can help assess the initial knowledge of participants before the program but does not provide insights into the effectiveness of the instruction after it has taken place. Thus, evaluations serve as the most comprehensive measure of program success, allowing for informed adjustments and enhancements to future educational efforts.
