LEARNZ is free of charge for teachers in NZ schools. To keep LEARNZ free, a condition of enrolling in a field trip is that teachers tick a box that indicates they agree to log in to MyLEARNZ and evaluate each field trip in which they have enrolled a class.
Why?
As part of the LEARNZ team at CORE Education, we believe in providing opportunities for teachers to reflect on their teaching practice and that our evaluation form is an appropriate way to encourage this. Evaluations provide valuable feedback to field trip funders and help LEARNZ to continually evolve.
How is it organised?
Parts of the evaluation form are tick-in-the-box. Other parts require comments, which we particularly value as they can help other teachers. Read comments from teachers.
Gather your evidence
While using a field trip with their class, teachers may wish to keep the evaluation questions in the back of their mind and make notes so that when the time comes to fill in the form, it can be done quickly, accurately and completely. Teachers may also wish to note comments from students to later copy-and-paste into the evaluation form. Some teachers even fill out the form with their class providing input right there and then.
