Thanks to the folks who sent me some ideas about a student evaluation of the catechist. I’ve designed my own form which is based specifically on what we covered this year and on specific features of my sessions. Still, I’m sure that you can glean some ideas from this form to design one to fit your own needs. Your feedback and/or questions on the design and content of this form are welcome!
Student Evaluation of Catechist
As I mentioned in a previous post, I enjoyed a day in the Diocese of Peoria, in particular, participating in a grade-level breakout session for 5th and 6th grade catechists. Some of these grade level sessions can grow tedious if not facilitated well. I like the fact that for these breakouts, the diocese provided questions to guide the discussions. Here they are: Bringing Prayer into the classroom. Are there any regular prayers you use and […]
As promised, here are the PDFs of the self-evaluation that we used in tonight’s Webinar. GROWING AS A CATECHIST Self Evaluation I encourage you to share this evaluation with another catechist, a group of catechists, or with your DRE. It’s always good for us to reflect on our experience to see how the Holy Spirit is calling us to grow in our ministry. Print Friendly

This short evaluation asks you to evaluate yourself using a five-point scale on the seven critical tools and then invites deeper reflection with several open-ended questions. Share your evaluation with your catechetical leader, or discuss it with a group of […]

Joe,
This is a great idea…God bless you…I plan on using this idea for my Confirmation class that we did with the high schoolers. Of course, our Confirmation is scheduled for Friday with the Bishop. We will see how many of our youth return on Sunday after Confirmation…:( Of course, I hope they all will and I will make enough copies for all 35 that are getting confirmed on Friday. Maybe I will give them to them at the reception and ask them to return them on Sunday. Thanks again, Jason.
Jason, congratulations on your students being confirmed! Let me know how it goes with the evaluation…best wishes!
