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
When I wrote about the Marian learning stations, I might not have been realistic about what we could accomplish in the time allotted. Because I wanted to keep working groups small—three or four people per station—I went with more stations than I should have. As a result, we ran out of time before everyone could get through all the stations, especially since each activity took a different amount of time to complete. The idea, you […]
For many faith formation leaders, this time of year is filled with the critical evaluation of our programs, our curriculum, and our catechetical efforts over the past 9–12 months. We invite feedback from catechists, parents, and sometimes the students as well. We assess our successes and our challenges, seeking to adjust and improve what we do as we plan for next year. As a busy DRE, I know I often used the same evaluation tools […]

I’d like to borrow his language to describe how things went last night: it was “flippin sweet!” It was one of those times when everything went according to plan and, in fact, exceeded my expectations. This was the last class that I will be teaching them (I’m […]

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!
