During the next three weeks, you have been studying concepts and applications in Geoscience which are appropriate for Texas Middle and High School science courses. The planned activities were designed to help you gain additional knowledge and facility in these concepts and skills. As part of the project evaluation process, it is important to know how comfortable you have become with these concepts and skills, how easy it is for you to prepare to teach them, and how comfortable you are in presenting them to teachers in workshop settings. The concepts and skills are listed in Part I and Part II with a descriptive rating scale. Think about each concept or skill and give yourself a rating. Please respond honestly - your name will not appear in any report prepared from this form. Press SUBMIT when you have completed the two pages.
Rating Scale
4 = complete mastery - I can thoroughly and easily explain this concept to my students or use this skill in instruction without serious review prior to class or use of notes during class. 3 = master - I can explain the concept to my students or use this skill in instruction but need to review prior to class and prepare notes for use during class. 2 = Familiar with but do not claim mastery - I am unsure about the meaning; need thorough study prior to class or use and rely heavily on notes during the presentation or use. 1 = Not familiar with and cannot explain - I know little about this concept or skill and do not know how to use it with my class.
