Setting Aims/Goals• What do you want your students to achieve?

• How do you choose your goals?

• How do you reach your goals?

• Why is it so important with goals when you teach?

• Are the aims realistic, relevant, understandable (SMART)

• Which signs show that you are on the right track

• When is the project a success?

• Are you able to evaluate the aims?ESP- Contact Seminar - Haugesund_ 2012 Birte K.Peulicke-DK & Cees Brederveld- NL

Evaluation• Why Evaluation?

• What is necessary to make an evaluation

• What are we going to evaluate

• Our Teaching • The students’ outcome

• The teacher – their work – their network

• Our project work

ESP- Contact Seminar - Haugesund_ 2012 Birte K.Peulicke-DK & Cees Brederveld- NL

Evaluation

Evaluation – two kinds:

1. Formative2. Summative

Formative: You evaluate during the project work (Might be a good idea to make a half way

evaluation)

Summative: You evaluate the project when you have finished

You start a new project – set new goals – start all over again
