Teacher Evaluations:
- All teachers with more than one project in the Virtual Science Fair are asked to rank their student’s projects and provide a comment for each student.
- Use standard ranking procedures you learned in Stats 101, that is rank 1 is best, rank 2 second best etc.
- More than one project may have the same rank.
- Please have only 1 or 2 projects with rank of 1
- Do not separate by subject area. Please evaluate the entire grade category as one group.
- Include the Team Number and Userid please.
- Record your evaluations in a Excel or Word document then email to me. larry@virtualsciencefair.com
- You should evaluate the projects by viewing them online.
- Access your projects through the Teacher Zone http://www.virtualsciencefair.org/registration/TeacherLogin.asp using your Teacher Userid and Password. The Userid has the format *****10t. If you cannot find your Teacher Userid and Password, let me know.
- The students will not see your rankings, but they will see your anonymous student comments.
- You may also include confidential comments for only the judges to see.
- Your evaluations should be based on your personal criteria.
- Criteria we use in judging are found in the:
- Checklists on the Rules page http://www.virtualsciencefair.com/rules.htm
- Do’s and Don’ts page http://www.odec.ca/CreatingProjects/dodont.htm
- Blog – Judging section http://odec.ca/wordpress/?tag=judging
- Please try to have this done by May 7 If you have any questions or don’t remember your Teacher Userid and Password, please contact me at once.
- If you wish to also be involved in judging projects other than your own, please contact Larry for more information.
Use a table similar to:
| Rank | Team Number | Userid | Comments for Student | Comments for Larry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2234 | testxd2 | ||
| 2 | 2275 | smitxs2 |
will the students be able to see the teachers evaluation?
No. The Teacher Evaluation consists of the 1) ranking of the project with respect to others in his/her class, 2)comments for students and 3)comments for the judges. Usually I include the “comments for students” in with comments for students from judges, but they are not identified as coming from the teacher.
Many teachers provide students with feedback on projects as part of standard reporting to students and parents in the school. The teachers criteria may be somewhat different than those of the VSF.
