End of Class Evaluations (students give for teachers)
This is the form I give students at the end of a class to give me feedback on my teaching. It is best for this to be anonymous, so they feel more free to be open. I consistently get lots of good feedback that informs my teaching practice, and I think students appreciate that I care what they think. There is a mix of multiple choice and open-ended questions, so students aren't overwhelmed by all open-ended questions.

Unit Feedback forms (for students to give teacher)
I designed this for students to give me feedback at the end of units. Sometimes I do it at the end of the quarter as well. I find it is helpful to hear what students think anonymously and when they have time to think. Students also appreciate knowing that their voice is important to me, and that I am continually trying to improve and make their experience better. This is a short, 5-10 minute paper, printing into a front/back half sheet. There is a mix of open-ended questions and multiple choice.

Teaching style
I'm not a fan of conforming to any particular pedagogy. The most important ideas that I organize my teaching around is making sure students are actively doing something most of the class, try to make activities fun, give students as much voice and choice as they feel comfortable with, and do plenty of reading and writing. And most importantly, show kindness and understanding and build good relationships.
