For password, contact Justine or Mare Timmons. = = = = =Presenter evaluation:= In 2008 evaluations were given directly to presenters, with no copies retained for overall evaluation. We should develop a way, perhaps using Survey Monkey or other easy-to-use system of collecting responses digitally, as we have for the overall conference evaluation. = = = = =From early cookbooks:= =Evaluation Chairperson= = = A sound evaluation of your conference will give you feedback on your work and will also help NMEA plan future conferences. Which sessions, for example, drew the largest audiences? Which sessions were scheduled in rooms were too small? Which sessions had very few attendees? What topics would registrants like to see in future sessions? These are only a few of the questions that will assist future conference committees build on what you have done.

The Evaluation Chairperson, working with the Conference Coordinator should design an evaluation plan for the conference. See sample forms in the Appendix. Use these to help you design your own form. Be sure not to leave out the following information on the form: the title of the session the type of session (workshop, special lecture, and so on), the grade level (elementary, high school, and so on), the name of the room, the number of people in attendance, and space for people to give free‑wheeling opinions about the session and about the conference in general

Additional tasks of the Evaluation Chairperson include the following:

After consultation with the Conference Committee, have the evaluation form printed.
 * After the Conference, collate the evaluations and assemble them into a report. Offer other comments and suggestions by the conference committee. Submit the report to the Conference Coordinator no later than 6 weeks after the conference closes, for inclusion in the final conference report.
