ELP Final Evaluation Assignment for 2020-2022 Class
By July 1, 2022
Please take some time to reflect on your two years and develop your completion-evaluation narrative. We need to hear from all leaders and mentors, but you may decide whether you wish to turn in individual narratives or one combined. Here are some questions to use as a guide:
- How did you work together to develop the Leader's goals? What were those goals, and have they been accomplished?
- What was the most challenging part of this relationship for each of you? What was the most successful part?
- Has there been anything surprising? Any accomplishments that you might not have anticipated when you began?
- Do you consider the time you've spent to be well worth it?
- Have you formulated any new goals for the future as a result of the experience?
- In what ways would you change the program?
- Finally, please be candid in assessing yourself and your program partner as to whether you felt that you were responsive, helpful, inspiring and there for each other. Is there anything you wish you had done differently, or would recommend to future program participants?
