Schools Evaluations
Evaluation forms are included with all Resource Kits for a period one term each year to monitor my performance standards. Generally there is a high response rate from principals/teachers.
In the last five years 97% of evaluation forms rated Bob's performances in the top 'Excellent' category, 3% were in the 'Good' category.
