2.5 EVALUATING YOUR WILDFIRE PREVENTION
PROGRAM
As with all presentations, the school programs for wildfire prevention education
are dynamic and always have room for change and improvement. A written
evaluation provided by your audience is a valuable tool for measuring the
effectiveness of your program and identifying strengths and weaknesses.
The Wildfire Prevention Program Evaluation form on the following page is one
example of a written evaluation. It can be used as is, adapted to a specific
audience, and requested from the teacher or students or both. The feedback you
receive through this form can be referred to and used as you further develop and
Improve your program.
Because of busy schedules and time constraints, some teachers may prefer to
complete the evaluation and return it to you before you leave the classroom.
Others may want to take more time or have a follow-up discussion with their
students before responding. however, if the evaluation form is to be returned at a
later date, ask that it be sent within a specified time, such as five days. This helps
ensure that the information is fresh and the form won't be delayed indefinitely.
Also, if you ask that the form be mailed back to you, attach a self-addressed,
stamped envelope.
