Hi folks,
I've been tasked with developing an instructor evaluation and performance program for my training group. I'm looking for an instructor evaluation form that the Training Manager or his designated rep can use to evaluate an instructor's training/teaching/presentations skills.
I was thinking about going the next step and fashioning a "master training specialist" qualification program after the US Navy MTS program but I'm having trouble finding guidance on all the appropriate navy sites.
Any help on these would be appreciated.

Here's a self-assessment for instructors that you could perhaps adapt for your needs...

Instructor Competency Self-Assessment
This self-assessment is based on Instructor Competencies and Performance Indicators for the Improvement of Adult Education, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education Division of Adult Education and Literacy. If you see yourself staying in the instructor role and growing in the field of training and development, try this self-assessment to see where you are in your development as an instructor and what areas you may want to work on improving or building.

Wow - you are well on your way to being on top of your career as an instructor and facilitator of learning. Keep it up! Be sure to share your experiences and best practices with your peers!

60 - 79
You’re obviously aware of the types of things that you need to be a benefit to your learners and your organization. Keep working on applying that knowledge and building your skills. Sometimes, just trying a new teaching strategy, experimenting with a new idea, brainstorming with other instructors, etc. will give you new energy and help boost your continued growth and improvement as an instructor.

59 and below
You may need to be more proactive in exploring and taking advantage of self-development opportunities - workshops, books, professional organizations, peer discussions, etc. - to stay on top of your game. Review the specific items you marked as 1s and 2s to help you identify possible areas for development.

Thanks Fanatic,
Keep them coming folks

I work for the NC Justice Academy where I train Criminal Justice Offiers to be trainers. Successful completion of the program includes presenting a block of instruction that they have created. I'll be happy to forward you the forms we use to evaluate that performance. They are pretty detailed and include descriptions of performance a the various levels (above, at and below expectations). YOu can contact me off-line and I'll email the documents to you sbrown@ncdoj.gov.

I recommend reviewing the IBSTPI (International Board of Standards for Training, Performance, and Instruction) Instructor Competencies.

I used these competencies to put together an evaluative tool for instructors in my organization, selecting those areas most relevant to the design and content of the courses.
