How to Evaluate Your Teacher for Middle School Students
Teacher evaluations are a great way to, anonymously, let your teachers know what parts of their teaching were effective, and what aspects of their classrooms they should improve. You should take your teacher evaluation seriously as an opportunity to help your teachers better their instructional style for future generations of students. On a teacher evaluation in middle school you either will have to write a paragraph about what you liked and didn't like about your teacher's work, or you will have to answer a series of questions. Here are some general pointers to effectively evaluate your teacher.

Be specific about what you liked and did not like about the class. For instance, you might write that you liked how engaging your teacher was, but wished he was easier to approach when you needed homework help.
-
2
Offer suggestions for how your teacher could make his classroom a better learning environment. For instance, if you have a hard time reading certain things that he writes on the board, you could ask him to use different colors of chalk in the future, or to write larger letters.

Praise the things that helped you learn the material, such as the fun "Jeopardy"-like review games that your teacher played to help you study for the science unit test. While teachers love general comments like, "Your class was awesome!" specific praise is much more helpful.

Avoid criticizing the things that your teacher cannot control, such as the room temperature.
-
5
Be appropriate. No comments on your teacher's physical appearance. These comments are disrespectful and certainly will not help your instructor improve his teaching.

Thank your teacher for his hard work if you enjoyed the class.
