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 the weather gets warmer, the students are not the only ones who are restless! I love my ministry with passion, but the summer provides a wonderful opportunity to renew my programs as well as myself. During the year, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, I often cannot find time to discern what God is calling me to create in my ministry. I look forward to the summer for time and space to […]
As we reflect on and evaluate this past catechetical year, I thought it would be helpful to once again make available a Self-Evaluation tool that I put together a couple of years ago, based on seven “tools” drawn from my book, The Catechist’s Toolbox. I encourage you to share this evaluation with another catechist, a group of catechists, or with your catechetical leader. It’s always good for us to reflect on our experience to see […]

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!
