How to Write a Teacher Evaluation

It's the end of the semester and time to write a teacher evaluation for your teacher. Whether your teacher did an outstanding job, or left a little to be desired-they deserve your input so they can improve. Even the best teachers didn't just start out that way; it probably took years of practice and feedback to get it right. These steps will help you write a teacher evaluation that will help your teachers improve.

Instructions

1. Identify the class which you are evaluating. Teachers often teach multiple classes and your comments and feedback will be most helpful if you assign them to the specific class. Start off your teacher evaluation by listing the specific class that you are evaluating.

2. List things you enjoyed about the course. The teacher will appreciate hearing those things which he/she did well, and your feedback will ensure that those things are taught the next year as well. Write down in your teacher evaluation 2-3 things that you thought the teacher did well.

3. List a few key things that might be improved in the course. Teachers aren't perfect, and there's always room to improve. In your teacher evaluation be sure to leave suggestions on how the teacher might improve. Be sure to fairly evaluate homework, the tests, and the teaching method.

4. Conclude with a brief summary. Often times a teach evaluation can be a lot to take in, especially since most students don't have a lot of practice organizing and writing teacher evaluations. Mention again one or two things you really enjoyed about the course and one or two things that need to be improved upon in the future.
