After your Class ends, you’ll notice that you need to complete your own instructor evaluation before you can view participant feedback. We promise we are not trying to add busy work to your life. Evaluations are a vital part of how Art Opening Minds continues to grow and meet the needs of our partners.

Why It Works This Way

• We’re new, and we’re learning. Art Opening Minds is built on over a decade of work using our film library to facilitate conversations at colleges and universities but putting the power of these conversations directly into the hands of educators is new and exciting for us. We depend on real-time feedback from Instructors to improve our content, structure, and support. Your insights help us make classes more relevant, inclusive, and impactful.
• It shows care for the whole learning experience. Our hope is that by taking the time to reflect on your facilitation and your group’s dynamic you will get a fuller picture of the class: how it went for you, what you want to do to improve, as well as what participants experienced.

What You Should Know

• Instructor evaluations are not anonymous. They are associated with your name and the class you taught.
• You control how your feedback is shared beyond your school. This information will be used to help other instructors select the best class for their use case. Before you submit, you’ll choose one of these three options for the evaluation data you've shared:
  • Share with other AOM Partners with your name
  • Share anonymously
  • Don’t share beyond AOM staff and your Partner Admin (if you have an institutional subscription)
• Instructor evaluations are not anonymous within your school. If you have an institutional subscription, your Partner Admin will be able to see your evaluation responses. This helps keep communication open and collaborative across departments or teams.
• After you complete the Instructor evaluation, you’ll unlock the Participant data for that session.
