An evaluation report can be used to document your process of evaluation and its outcomes for a particular unit. Such an evaluation report would be suitable for inclusion in a teaching portfolio. A unit evaluation report could take a number of forms and include a number of different headings. Here are two examples.

Example 1

• The unit/Teaching Context (this may include a statement of the beliefs about learning and teaching which have guided the development of the subject, the learning outcomes for the subject, the place of the subject in the program/degree, the subject’s relationship to others in the program/degree, the mode of delivery of the unit, a description of the assessment).
• Purpose of the Evaluation
• Statement of findings of previous evaluations (if available and/or findings in the literature with respect to the dimensions relevant to this evaluation).
• Sources of information and methods of gathering the information
• Timeline for the implementation
• Reflections on the planning process
• Analysis and Interpretation of the information collected across multiple sources using multiple methods (See Using student feedback questionnaires to enhance teaching for learning)
• Recommended and follow-up actions
• Reflections on the process and the outcomes
• References and list of sources of evidence and location

Example 2

• Goals as a teacher
• Rationale for these goals
• Reflection on progress to date in achieving these goals
• How these goals relate to this particular subject
• Sources and methods used to obtain information on the achievement of my goals in this subject
• Summary and interpretation of results
• What I have learnt from this evaluation
• What I need to work on the next time the subject is taught
• Ways I will continue to evaluate the achievement of my goals
