NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

However, if the Navy contract monitor tries to ensure
that the steak was cooked to satisfaction by going
into the galley; looking over the cook's shoulder;
telling the cook when to turn the steak and how to
season it, the contract monitor would be violating the
terms of the contract by directly supervising the
cook. Direct supervision of the cook would change the
conditions of the contract from a finished product to
a contract for personal services.
Just as the contract monitor for galley operations
must evaluate based on the finished product, so too
must training managers.
Training managers with oversight responsibilities for
instructional services contracts must evaluate the
quality of instruction without crossing the personal
services threshold. The following provides guidance
on how this may be accomplished.
The training managers or their representative should
evaluate all contract instructors at least annually.
Annual instructor evaluations should be addressed in
the contract. The training manager must communicate
an evaluation of the effectiveness of the training to
the COR. The COR provides feedback to the contractor
site manager. In performing oversight
responsibilities, a training manager may:
• Evaluate classroom and laboratory instruction.
Training managers will use checklists contained
in this manual when evaluating contract
instructors.
• Monitor students-academic progress.
• Monitor attrition/set back data for assigned
courses.
• Sit in a classroom.
• Observe a contract instructor teaching.
• Write an evaluation.
Training managers should not:
• Personally critique the contract instructor on
the evaluation.
• Perform supervisory functions such as directing
the instructor on how to personalize the lesson
plan.
