Does anyone have examples of staff evaluation forms that can be shared within a youth development center? I'm in the process of conducting perofrmance evals for my staff and would be interested in seeing examples of different formats. Thanks in advance.</P>

<DIV></DIV>Dear Louise,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>For my eighth grade students in my after school/summer school program, I
<DIV></DIV>have found it helpful to have the students write in their journals. The
<DIV></DIV>students come into the classroom, pick up their notebook and a writing
<DIV></DIV>utensil, and look on the board to find out what the topic is. We try to
<DIV></DIV>find three topics for the students to choose from, varying from a check-in
<DIV></DIV>on their day, goals for the future, or brainstorming a list. We also try to
<DIV></DIV>relate it to any group activities we have planned for the day. For example,
<DIV></DIV>we did a service learning project that involved reading to children in
<DIV></DIV>daycare. In the days we were planning the activity, we had topics such as
<DIV></DIV>"Remember a time someone read to you as a little kid. How did you feel?"
<DIV></DIV>and as follow-up on a lesson the first day we went into the daycare "List
<DIV></DIV>what you remember from the lesson the college students taught you on how to
<DIV></DIV>read to children."
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The kids know what the first part of the programming is each day.
<DIV></DIV>Backtracking isn't necessary as kids filter in late, because they know the
<DIV></DIV>expectations they have to begin writing immediately. You can also do weekly
<DIV></DIV>or daily goals as they relate to homework.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>There are better sites for lists of possible journal topics, but this is a
<DIV></DIV>good start:
<DIV></DIV>http://teachervision.com/lesson-plans/lesson-6382.html
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>As far as topics, the focus of my program is pre-employment skills. We
<DIV></DIV>cover things such as budgeting, money management, resumes, etc. Service
<DIV></DIV>learning projects are also an excellent way to teach lessons. Have the kids
<DIV></DIV>brainstorm ideas, and perhaps break into multiple projects.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hope this helps,
<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> My name is Louise Kaster and I am the Program Director for an
<DIV></DIV>> after school program, 3:00Pm-6:00PM, at the local junior
<DIV></DIV>> high. We are approaching our 3rd year of the grant and I am
<DIV></DIV>> trying to get some new ideas for daily planning, especially
<DIV></DIV>> for the first hour.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Our students usually have wanted to use this time to visit,
<DIV></DIV>> wander, just your typical, basic jr high behavior!! It has
<DIV></DIV>> been difficult to organize 35-40 kids in a way that is
<DIV></DIV>> appealing to the majority of the group. Last year, students
<DIV></DIV>> would sign in, get their snack and then about 1/3 to 1/2
<DIV></DIV>> would head off to the homework room. It usually was total
<DIV></DIV>> chaos. We tried science experiments, board games, reading
<DIV></DIV>> club...not with much success. The real challenge is to make
<DIV></DIV>> it interesting while encouraging the students to want to do
<DIV></DIV>> their homework or if they claim to not have any homework (
<DIV></DIV>> ha-ha!!! They all claim this!) to get them involved in
<DIV></DIV>> "disguised learning" activities that won't in turn make them
<DIV></DIV>> choose that activity over their homework assignment. Finding
<DIV></DIV>> the right balance, I realize will be a constant trial and
<DIV></DIV>> error process.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I am hoping some of you may have suggestions as to how you
<DIV></DIV>> start your afternoon with 6-8 grade students. Also, if anyone
<DIV></DIV>> has other ideas as to the format of the daily schedule,
<DIV></DIV>> themes that have worked or any other great suggestions, I
<DIV></DIV>> would appreciate all the help I can get!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I absolutely love working with the 6-8 graders! I enjoy all
<DIV></DIV>> the challenges and especially the successes of the students!
<DIV></DIV>> And this list serv has been fantastic! Thanks to all who have
<DIV></DIV>> made contributions!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Thanks in advance for any suggestions submitted.
