  • 1.  Field Instructor Evaluation of Program

    Posted Aug 10, 2022 16:44
    Hello, all.  I would like to provide our field instructors with a survey that allows them to evaluate our field education program and the role/effectiveness of the field director and faculty liaison.  Does anyone have an instrument for this purpose that you would be willing to share or a reference for one that you have used?  We have evaluations of many aspects of the field program but I would like the perspective of our field instructors as well.  Thanks.

    I created a google form that field instructors could access and complete at the end of the semester. I have copied the text from the form placed it below. I hope you find it helpful. It gave me really helpful feedback.
