Evaluation Methods. The Association may present to the Board of Trustees its views on an evaluation instrument and/or propose an evaluation instrument. The Board of Trustees will make the final selection of the evaluation instrument. The School District will maintain a uniform evaluation instrument for all teachers or groups of teachers or activities. The School District will seek the input of all the individual teachers affected by an evaluation instrument and/or its application before implementing or changing the same.
Evaluation Methods. All monitoring or observation of work performance of an Employee for purposes of a formal evaluation will be conducted openly and with full knowledge of the Employee. Covert methods will not be used for formal or informal observation of teaching performance.
Evaluation Methods. The CO/COR will conduct performance evaluations based upon Section II above and the required performance levels set forth in the contract and/or Task Orders. The following techniques will be used to perform surveillance:
Evaluation Methods. Nicor Gas will work with the independent third party evaluator and SAG to develop best practices for when program evaluations shall be controlled trials or quasi-experimental design methods. Until SAG develops best practices, where appropriate given the EM&V budget constraints, the independent evaluator shall give preference to randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental design methods. When a program evaluator believes that randomized control trials or quasi- experimental designs are not appropriate given the EM&V budget constraints, the program evaluator shall provide an explanation and support for its decision as part of its evaluation plan.
Evaluation Methods. The closeness of fit of the proposed deep brain-tuned transformation with the MNI brain was compared with that of the untransformed brain and a surface-tuned transformation using the fol- lowing four numerical measures. The first measured the percentage of lateral ventricle coordinates correctly falling within the MNI lateral ventricle; a higher proportion indicates better agreement. The second measure was the mean distance in mm between the MNI lateral ventricle coordinates and each of the three sets of coordinates being compared; a smaller number indicates better agree- ment. The last two measures were the 5th and 95th percentiles of individual distances in mm used to calculate the mean distance; a smaller numerical value indicates better agreement. Numerical stability of the final estimate of Θ was investigated by using several different initial starting values for Θˆ in the numerical minimization routine. Ultimately, an initial starting value of (1, 1, 1, 1, 0) was used as the initial starting value of Θˆ to obtain the final estimate of Θ re- ported above. This vector of initial values corresponds to no scaling as indicated by the first three ones in the vector and no rotation as indicated by the last one and the zero in the vector. One should note the final one in the vector can be replaced by any non-zero number a and still corre- . 0 Σ spond to no rotation since arctan a = 0 provided a ƒ= 0. More general affine transformations with as many as nine parameters were attempted with little to no reduction in the mean surface distance. 3 Results Convergence using the initial starting vector in section 2.2 took 47 iterations with a final mean distance of 2.468 mm compared with a starting mean distance of 2.823 mm. The final numerical value of Θˆ is approximately (1.039, 0.939, 1.261, −38.808, 0.251). Recalling equation (1), the first three parameter estimates show slight scaling in the x and y directions and greater scaling in the z direction. The last two estimated parameters result in a rotation about (0, −38.808, 0.251) of approximately −0.00633 radians or −0.363 degrees. When several different starting values were used to obtain an estimate of Θ, all reasonable starting values yielded estimates of Θ which agreed to within 3 significant digits of the estimate given above. Thus, the final reported estimate appears to be numerically stable. For ease of use, the simplified transformation obtained by substituting Θˆ into equations (2) and (3) is: xj...

Evaluation Methods. After you have determined what your learning objectives will be and decided upon strategies to help you achieve them, you will need to identify how your learning will be evaluated and documented. The methods (you’ll want to use more than one to fully describe what you learned) you choose will give your collaborating faculty member evidence that you have achieved or made progress toward what you set out to learn. You are free to negotiate with your instructor how you will show what you have achieved during your internship. Examples of evaluation methods used during an academic internship: • A formal paper on a specific topic related to your internship. • An overall, reflective, analytical summary essay about the internship experience. • A journal or blog/vlog -- a daily or weekly record of your observations, activities, reflections and analyses, i.e., making connections to your learning objectives. • Examples of projects or work produced on the job. • Oral presentation in class, seminar or colloquial. • Periodic “check-in” meetings with faculty sponsor/supervisor. • Participation in a concurrent internship seminar with other interns. • Site visit with faculty member and on-site work supervisor. • Intern final self-evaluation (required). • Work supervisor final evaluation (required). • Final oral presentation/meeting with faculty supervisor. To organize and showcase your learning, St. Xxxxxxx encourages you to develop an internship portfolio that is submitted to your collaborating faculty sponsor. For more information or questions about internships for-credit, contact: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Administrative Assistant to the Associate Academic Xxxx. xxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx 403-4044 One last thought Since learning is never truly "completed,” be sure to consider your learning agreement a fluid document; it can be amended during your internship if new opportunities present themselves or you find that your original learning goals need to be changed (be sure to talk with your collaborating faculty member if you plan to change your learning objectives).
Evaluation Methods. Describe how your progress regarding each objective will be measured. How will you know, and show, others that you have achieved your learning objectives? Describe your final activities/projects for each objective and/or strategy. What are the “deliverables” (e.g. final reports, project briefings, project implementations, etc.). Who receives them? Will you compile records of your activities or the outcomes of your activities throughout the internship? Will the project you’re working on be implemented or incorporated into something larger? LEARNING AGENDA Learning Objectives What I intend to learn. Be specific! Minimum 5 Strategies What I will do/how I will learn it. Be creative! Minimum 7 Evaluation Methods How will I know if I’ve achieved it? Minimum 3 APPROVALS Internship Supervisor I have discussed this internship agreement with the intern and agree to each of the following: • The employer and information sections (p. 1) of this agreement are accurate. • I will assign work to the intern that supports the spirit and purpose of the learning agenda. • I will provide the intern with an orientation to relevant organizational arrangements, procedures, and functions. • I will meet with the intern regularly and make myself available for counsel and advice. • I will provide feedback on the intern’s performance to him/her and through an online survey upon completion of the internship. • I understand that I am encouraged to contact the course instructor should any questions or concerns arise.
Evaluation Methods. Each unit member will be assigned one (1) administrator evaluator [up to two (2) for probationary employees] for each year’s evaluation cycle. For post probationary unit members not on an improvement plan, administrator evaluators should be assigned on a rotating basis from year to year. The Evaluation process at Pacific Collegiate School may be conducted in one of three ways:
