To all Mentors:

1. A summary evaluation of the student you have been mentoring should be prepared at the close of each Mentored Practice experience. The following points are meant to be suggestive as you shape your remarks:

• To what extent did the student honor the learning agreement you made? Was the student dependable and responsive to situations as they developed?
• To what extent did the student address his/her goals?
• What strengths were evident in his/her work?
• What skills would you recommend this student continue addressing?

1. Please describe how your mentoring sessions were carried out and to what extent you and the student dealt with any difficulties that arose.
2. Please add any other comments you wish to make in general and indicate whether you have had an opportunity to review, discuss, and sign the student’s final paper.
3. Please review your report with the student involved and have him/her sign it to indicate his/her awareness of what has been shared, before you send it to the Mentored Practice office.
4. This report is only one instrument for assessing a student’s readiness for ministry; please be as honest as you can be about this student’s level of maturity and progress in the practice of ministry.

6. If you have any serious concerns you need to address before you share your assessment with this student, please contact me and make me aware of your concerns, especially if you have not done so earlier in the semester/or summer experience.

Note: No grade (Pass/D/Fail) will be given until the Director of Mentored Practice has received this evaluation. Please address all correspondence to Dr. Ron Baard (rbaard@bts.edu).
