21st Century Skills

I have taken a break from blogging.  It has been a few months since my last post, Who owns the learning?  It was a difficult summer, but time has passed and I am ready to get back into the swing of things.  I wanted to take a few minutes here to explore the final evaluations from last years class.    

On the last day of school, I have all 120 of my students evaluate my class and my teaching.  (Over twitter, I spoke with Paul Bogush and he provided a format for this evaulation.  That document is linked here--might not open, sorry).  I have always given a final course evluation, but I really like the format Paul made.  I do not read them until several weeks after school has ended as a way to reflect on the year.  I was happy.  

I have posted 10% of my course evaluations below and I think you can see a common theme.  I think they say more then I could type here and I would rather let the kids speak for themselves.  Cheers, Garth

I think that is is an awesome idea. Your students love how you worked with them, and your class. I think this is a great way to check how you are doing as a teacher, you need to make sure that you do the best you can to see to it that the students are learning. Making them interested in the subject is the only thing I can thing of, but using comment cards to direct your teaching is an awesome way to reflect on the year.

Top row, one all the way to the right...

Some teachers could wait their entire life for an eval like that...
