August 8, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

When you recruit feedback from your students at the end of a Bible study year, don’t forget to solicit feedback from your leaders.   If you are blessed to have dedicated leadership returning year after year, you may want to keep it short.  Here’s an example we’ve used at Wednesday in the Word.  This example survey is geared to a Bible study with a large group, small groups and homework. Customize it to fit your programs.

June 7, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

It’s always helpful to get feedback from your students at the end of a Bible study year. But evaluations can be a problem. If they are too short, your leaders don’t gain any useful information. If they are too long, few students will not fill them out. Here’s an example we’ve used at Wednesday in the Word that seems to find the right balance.
