The use of both announced and unannounced evaluations can improve the

overall effectiveness of instructor performance. Guidelines to be followed by

the evaluator should include the following.

Establish a relationship with the instructor based on mutual respect and

trust;

Review the lesson plan and other course material prior to the training

session in which the evaluation will occur;

Recognize that the primary purpose of instructor evaluation is to

improve the quality of training;

Refrain from making comments or participating in training activities;

Schedule and conduct a critique of the evaluation with the instructor;

Provide a completed copy of the evaluation to the instructor; and

Assist the instructor in developing a plan for correcting any deficiencies

noted.

4.4.2 Confirm Availability of Trainees. Selection of trainees should be

coordinated between the training and referent organizations to ensure that

course loading and scheduling requirements are met. Trainees selected should

possess the required entry-level skills and knowledge of the scheduled

program. Trainees should be selected sufficiently in advance to permit

adjustments in scheduled training (e.g., remedial training) that may be required.

4.4.3 Confirm Availability of Training Facilities and Resources. The availability

of training facilities and resources identified in the Training Development and

Administrative Guide should be verified. Conflicts in scheduling or availability

should be resolved to ensure that required facilities and resources are available

when training begins. The following guidelines assist in this effort.

Confirm that the allocated training facility is adequate and appropriate

for the number of trainees, learning activities, media, and the numbers

and types of training equipment to be used;

Check the facility and correct any unsafe conditions;
