Bozarth Trainer Eval Of Session

Tool 73. Trainer’s Evaluation of Session/Learners Contributed by Randy Woodward From contributor Randy Woodward: “Being a trainer myself, I understand that the learner evaluations don't always tell the whole story, so I designed the facilitator feedback form to put evaluation of a session into a more holistic context. Additionally, it gives the trainer a chance to reflect on the experience from his or her own point of view -- something we may otherwise skip, being busy with the next task. I am also a training manager, and from that perspective the completed form, submitted by trainers on my staff, provides me the opportunity to put myself in their shoes and look for signs of stress, issues with systems like registration and marketing (are we getting the right people in the right class?) and of course to find opportunities to praise good performance. Plus, if others who may be unfamiliar with the class, trainer, or learners (like C-level staff) review the training report, they get a more balanced view of the intent and the results. Finally, the form helps to answer questions like, "Why did this group only show a 2% improvement in skills?" Maybe they attended a class that was three levels below their current skills, or because learners were scheduled to attend directly following a twelve hour shift and hadn't slept for a day and a half. Or perhaps they were sent to training in an effort to remediate a character flaw that has nothing to do with a knowledge or skill deficiency. None of these is likely to show up in the learner feedback, but the trainer will usually know, and should really have a chance to document that and communicate it to management. Finally, it gives a place for the facilitator to identify people we want to invest in: star performers and folks who show potential for future development.”
