NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

An unscheduled evaluation permits the evaluator to
observe the instructor in a normal mode and can result
in a realistic appraisal of the instructor.
Course supervisors and LSOs are examples of persons
who may conduct unscheduled evaluations. The
qualifications of the person conducting the evaluation
will determine whether the evaluation is technique,
technical, or both.
The evaluator conducting the unscheduled evaluation
should use the evaluation forms. If it is less
formal, i.e., a spot check, a form is not necessary.
In both cases, the instructor will be provided
feedback as to his/her performance.
There are no preset requirements for the number of
unscheduled evaluations conducted on an instructor.
Commanding Officers should establish a timetable, a
frequency schedule, and record keeping requirements
for the unscheduled evaluation program.
Instructors certified as Master Training Specialist
(MTS) should take every opportunity to be evaluated to
improve their skills; however, the MTS may be
evaluated on an annual basis if approved by the CO.
LSOs will monitor and regulate the Instructor
Evaluation Program. Refer to Chapter 6, Section 4,
for information on evaluating contract instructors.
2.3. Instructor Evaluation Checklists. There is a sample
evaluation form: Laboratory Instructor Evaluation refers to
Appendix D or NAVEDTRA 134A. Team Trainer Evaluation and
instructor checklists may be developed locally and are based on
the unique training.
2.4. Unsatisfactory Evaluations. If an instructor is evaluated
unsatisfactory, the following guidelines apply:
Unsatisfactory evaluations based on the instructor's
attitude/behavior may be discontinued if the evaluator
determines it necessary. The instructor should not be
debriefed. The evaluator will inform the appropriate
course supervisor immediately as soon as practical as to
the situation. The training and course supervisors will be
responsible for taking corrective action.
Examples of unsatisfactory attitude/behavior include a
negative attitude toward the students, the Navy, or the
training, insulting remarks, discriminatory remarks,
