Abstract: The cooperative agreement between The Faculty of Education of Maha Sarakham University and The Municipality of Maha Sarakham City is to provide education development to the community. Various educational methods and practices have been applied to support the Municipality of Maha Sarakham city’s overhaul of responsibilities towards the City’s development in Social and Economic policies. The University will provide academic experts, lecturers, development programs and training seminars, while the Municipality will provide funding for the training projects. The 360° evaluation method is compared to as a new wave of Assessment method that managers can trust and depend upon. Managers can be reassured that the evaluation is capable to assess current trends and modern policies. Other benefits include a justified appraisal that is valuable and trustworthy to the organization. This method of evaluation has been applied to assess the impact and success of cooperative programs between the 2 institutions in the past. Returned results indicate that all participants all favor the topics of Context, End Results, Input, Feedback and Training Processes. But that the projects still lacked follow ups. Committee members should follow up by re-evaluating the progress of the teachers. The Faculty of Education should determine that regular follow ups be performed once or twice a month after training. Questionnaires for each session and topic should include the opinions of trainees and that more time be allocated for discussion. And that workshops and short session training programs are preferred because it would be more effective.
