"Are We There Yet?"
I think that my personal values have very little affect on the evaluation process. My evaluations are created after everything else has been completed. The evaluations are a reflection of the lesson objectives and course objective and are reflective of the lesson goal. The objectives are also the basis of the lesson plan. After a lesson has been completed the evaluation is to check and see if you have arrived at the destination that you announced at the start of the lesson. It’s like getting on a plane and the pilot announces that we are going to ATL, the flight is the lesson, the evaluation is when you get off you should be in ATL not LAX. If you can’t verify that you are at that location , there is a problem somewhere.
Fabulous! I agree with you completely.
ReplyDeleteYes I do agree with you. Your evaluation must be objective, and not carry a value judgement. Most of our classes are very skills based, so there is little of our personal values that need to go into the evaluation process. If there was,I think that I would have to take a second look at my teat.
ReplyDeleteHi, Scott - I like the simple, objective approach, and that it is focused on the lesson's objective. The KISS theory at work . . .
