Teachers are regularly called upon to provide learner evaluations. It is difficult to write evaluation comments that are appropriately supportive of all our learners while also accurately describing performance and competency in transparent language. This is an opportunity to talk about common challenges and best practices of writing evaluations.

During this workshop, participants will:

Identify and discuss common challenges in writing evaluations
Review and critique examples of evaluations
Apply a set of guidelines or “tips” to improve a sample evaluation
Practice composing a summary evaluation from multiple individual evaluations

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Describe common challenges in writing learner evaluations
List several systematic approaches to gathering data and using the data to compose learner evaluations
Differentiate between summative and formative evaluation/comments
Write summative and formative evaluations that are performance-based, specific, and focused
List common pitfalls in summary evaluations
Set personal goals for applying the skills learned in this workshop to one's own practice setting, and review a tool designed to assess performance of new teaching skills.
