How do I know if I’m evaluating?
• if you are not describing
• if you have measured your effectiveness
• if you can demonstrate how you have put into practice what you have learned
• if you are asking questions (and answering them)
Evaluating as questioning
• why do I need to achieve that? why did I do that?
• what did I learn from it?
• did anything change as a result?
• what would I do differently?
What is being measured
The reflective practitioner:
•What have you achieved?
•What have you learned?
•Where are you going?
•What do you need to get there?
