Extension program personnel are teachers.  Periodic assessment, or evaluation, of completed teaching improves the awareness of teaching effectiveness.

The EEET portion of this Web site provides the most up-to-date set of Evaluation of Effective Extension Teaching documents for Ohio State University Extension.  Most of this information on this site is included in portable document format (pdf) so that the user can down load the form, and make appropriate copies.

Please note that these forms do not measure the impact of teaching, but rather the quality of teaching.  Groups, Individuals, Peers and Subject Matter Experts may complete forms.  When used in conjunction with other kinds of information, these forms provide extensive, objective documentation of teaching effectiveness.

Data from Ohio State University Extension Instructors/Educators have been collected since 1991.  A database exists which allows comparisons among Extension Educators on nine teaching effectiveness variables.  The individual submitting EEET forms for tabulation can use the results for self-improvement, performance appraisal, or the promotion and tenure process.

The EEET summary on any given Extension Educator’s teaching is confidentially returned to that Educator.  It is the decision of the person using/submitting the EEET forms to share with others, e.g. supervisory staff.
