Conduct a Weekly Sunday School E-valuation

Written by David Francis

Teaching for Results

Whether you lead a Sunday School class or direct the entire Sunday School ministry, it's good to stop and evaluate the work from the previous week. You might want to conduct this quick weekly evaluation on Sunday afternoon, or on Wednesday. Just pick a day, and use the following "E" report to celebrate accomplishments and identify improvements. Use for yourself, your class, or your school.

This e-valuation form is also available as a free PDF download. Print it out and share it with your fellow Sunday School teachers.
