Evaluating units of work

Evaluating what and how we teach is a vital part of the whole teaching and learning cycle.

Several layers of evaluation are important for future planning:

Evaluating what was completed: This will highlight outcomes or big ideas that still need to be addressed in future units.

Evaluating what worked well, or not: Making these judgements about the quality of experience will assist in revising the unit for future use. Especially note those activities that stimulated students’ interest.

Evaluating what was achieved by students: This is related to the assessment of students’ achievement of outcomes but also provides insights into individual interests, and strengths and gaps in students’ capabilities, suggesting possible directions for future units.
