Note on Midterm Evaluations
The midterm evaluation form is a Word document included in your Mentor Teacher packet: you should have received this from your student or field coordinator, but the packet is also available in the PDF handbooks located above. The midterm evaluation narrative should be completed in written form, with a hard copy submitted to your teacher preparation candidate or given to the field supervisor to bring to the office.
Or the form can be mailed directly to: Teaching and Learning Department, 401 Fulton St. W, 419C Richard M. DeVos Center, Grand Rapids, MI 49504
