Student Activity Evaluation Form
April 05, 2018
When a student performs a 15 minute mini lesson it is important to provide constructive feedback to that student teacher. Givens: did the student begin on time, make eye contact, and have smooth transitions. Delve further: did the pre-service educator have a good conversation with the cooperating teacher prior to doing the lesson and get some of their suggestions? Did the pre-service teachers seek out materials and resources?
This eval form is printed on triplicate or duplicate carbon copies, so the student can receive their eval immediately, one given to their cooperating teacher (if desired), and one goes into their confidential file.

Early Childhood Observation Form
April 06, 2018
At an OER conference a few university reps asked if I would share the evaluation tool I use. The focus is on 13 functional areas when evaluating students in the ECE / Family Services program. The students also create a portfolio with 13 functional areas tabs, DCFS regulations, Early Learning Standards, and any documents needed for the interviewing process.
​
When evaluating pre-service teachers in a practicum or field experience it is wise to have an informal and formal tool. I've provided the form I utilize, but I also have a follow up conference to go over some of the feedback. A beneficial tool for improving is also a video-taped lesson that the student will view upon completion.
