further thoughts on eval

I wrote earlier...

What was necessary, and informative, was the insight gleaned from each participant about how they felt the conversation went. Insight represented by real words, tinged with emotion, and not by a number.

Upon further reflection, I'm realizing that what was exciting was how participants expressed their feelings about how this process has helped them as teachers:

• further defining their role as educators, as support givers
• further expanding their relationship with their students
• further deepening their relationship with themselves

In both cases, teachers were excited about possibly having some strategies to work with challenging students and situations.
