Evaluations can be informative. I appreciate the critique that encourages me to grow and improve. Empty criticism is spiteful and unproductive. I have found that self-evaluation and student evaluations have the best results. Most teachers are their own best critic. We know what we are doing poorly and what needs improvement. We also know what we do that works best and is successful.
Asking our students to evaluate a lesson is also productive. Kids are honest. Brutally honest. Don't ask if you don't want to know. If you really want to know how your students like a lesson, ask them and observe how well they complete the lesson. If you want to know how well you taught an objective, analyze the assessment. Compare end-of-year assessments with the previous year to determine how well you are teaching a concept, where you need to improve or where you are amazing.
End of the year is a perfect time to take a look back and see what you can do to make next year better than ever! And, you have summer break to get all of your ideas and plans together.
