Emphasize Safety
~ Stress safety in the introduction, presentation, and summary when safety is a factor in the
lesson.
LABORATORY EVALUATION FACTORS
As with classroom evaluation factors, you must be familiar with the evaluation factors used
to evaluate laboratory instruction. Some of these factors are very similar to those used in the
classroom. Others are specific to laboratory instruction. Safety is frequently of greater concern
in the laboratory than in the classroom.
You must ensure that safety is stressed and safety
procedures adhered to. The laboratory checklist is used to evaluate the instructor, the students,
and the facilities.
