1- Instructor Evaluation System
a. Daily administrative supervision and follow-ups on teacher performance using technical forms and logs
b. A teacher evaluation form, which the students will fill out at the end of each course
c. Periodic discussions with students on their opinions of the study system, their feelings regarding the achievement of their study goals, and their suggestions by way of improvement
2- Program Evaluation System
During and after each program there is an evaluation conducted to assure the whole instruction experience, guided by students’ evaluation forms collected at the end of the program, instructors’ feedback, and administration notes. There might me changes, additions, or even re-design and/or re-structure of the program after that.
3- Curriculum Evaluation System
Aldiwan Center organizes regular instructor meetings and workshops to evaluate curricula, making the necessary additions or changes in an effort to better meet the students’ goals and increase our effectiveness in language instruction.
4- Administration Evaluation System
Aldiwan Center has an administrative system that ensures every staff member is putting what is expected of effort in his work time. Every branch manager, staff member and employee has his own duties to be accomplished in a specific timeframe. Administrative evaluation is always conducted to find gaps in performance, extraordinary and above-average performance, and therefore the top administration decisions come to either reward or remedy that work results.
