LABORATORY EVALUATION PROCEDURES
Laboratory Evaluation Procedures. This Appendix contains
information on how to conduct laboratory evaluations and how to
evaluate the performance based on the Instructor Laboratory
Checklist (ILC) provided at the end of this Appendix D-1.
Procedures for Laboratory Evaluation
Every instructor is responsible for the quality and safety
of training in the laboratory. In many cases, a course
supervisor is aided by one or more assistant instructors.
The course supervisor is responsible for coordinating the
assignments of the assistant instructors. The course
supervisor is also responsible for ensuring that assistant
instructors are familiar with laboratory procedures and are
properly briefed on their responsibilities.
When laboratory training is conducted with more than one
instructor, an evaluator must determine during the
preliminary meeting whether the instructor is the lead or
an assistant instructor and what the instructor's
responsibilities are. Assistant instructors should each
have their own copy of the lesson plans.
Laboratory training shall not begin until the required
number of instructors is present.
Based on the instructor's training responsibilities in the
laboratory, the evaluator determines which of the
evaluation items on the Laboratory Evaluation Form are
applicable to the evaluated instructor and which should be
rated "NA."
Laboratory Grading Criteria. The INTRODUCTION for the
laboratory serves the same purpose, as does the Introduction for
the classroom; to set the stage for learning to take place and
to motivate the students to perform to the best of their
ability. The following is a list of behaviors that should be
observed.
